redfive48, This is what I read when it comes to my individual right's. Amendment II of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA says " A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the ( RIGHT ) of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." And if that's not good enough, the Two Supreme Court rulings, District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago (2010), clarified the meaning of the Second Amendment. In Heller, the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's ( RIGHT ) to possess a firearm (unconnected to service in a militia) and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Additionally, the Court enumerated several longstanding prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession that it found were consistent with the Second Amendment.[3] In McDonald, the Court determined that the Second Amendment limits state and local governmental authority to the same extent that it limits federal authority.
