In article , "Bill Denton" writes:
You might want to rethink your "guns" theory...

From the Second Amendment: "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed"

From www.dictionary.com: arms - "A weapon, especially a firearm" and: gun -
"A portable firearm, such as a rifle or revolver".

A gun is a firearm, a firearm is an arm. The Second doesn't refer to SOME
arms and by not specifically delineating what arms may be owned or
possessed, the right is extended to ALL arms.

So, in fact, we do have a Constitutional right to "own/carry GUNS".


Actually, we should have more than that. When the Bill of Rights was
written, we had the right to own the most powerful weapons on the planet.
Right now, I'll settle for a fully armed F15 :-)
