The 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights

"For those who do not understand the meaning of 'Rights', we need to make it clear once and for all:

The 2nd Amendment does not apply to semi-automatic rifles, nor does it apply to bolt action rifles, pistols, or revolvers.  The 2nd Amendment RESTRICTS GOVERNMENT.  The technology of the firearm is irrelevant.  The restrictions on the government remain the same, regardless of the firearm.  The 2nd Amendment was not written to grant permission for citizens to own and bear arms.  It forbids the government interference in the right to own and bear arms, period.  The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed

This also applies to the other 'Rights'.  They are not granted; they stipulate inherent rights that the government may not prohibit."
