Matt, you are dead wrong. The 2nd amendment gives no rights. Nothing in the "Bill of Right" gives anything to the people. It is a guarantee that the "new" powerful, Federal, government, will not tread on basic human rights. And among those spelled out, is the right to posses arms with the intention of keeping said Federal government in check. This is the explicit belief of the people who wrote these words. Look at the congressional record from the first congress to see the debates and the point.
