Same with guns: you have the right to a proper self-defense and
self-protection, but not necessarily a right to own/carry GUNS.

All, and I mean all, the supporting documents written by the framers
with regard to guns say exactly the opposite.

You are absolutely correct, but it should be mentioned that the framers would not
have mentioned the right to self-defense, since it's an old premise of common law and
the Constitution states that common law is to be the basis for all law in the U.S..
Basically, they would have assumed that the right to self-defense would never be
questioned.
