How to Read the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution

[keystone183]

Well, so much for the notion that rights are unalienable (i.e., cannot be taken away).

CERTAIN...unalienable rights.....

The Declaration of Independence does not divide rights into categories and subsets of categories.
It says that the rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are "among" the rights given to us.

One can logically conclude that it does, because they throw the above mentioned word in there. At least two categories anyway. And those you mention, are 'among' the UNALIENABLE ones....

At the risk of being undiplomatic, I must say that your understanding of logic seems a bit flawed.

He's in good company.....
