Ok - bear with me. Being a naturalized US Citizen (from Canada) the US Bill of Rights didn't figure too much in my highschool history lessons.
So - tell me. Isn't the above part of the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution?
We all know about the 2A , but unless the Government can ABSOLUTELY provide for the above can't THAT phrase be used to support gun rights as well?
I mean, if you are in danger of being robbed/murdered (being deprived of the above) and the only way to safeguard your right to the above is to carry/have access to firearms, doesn't this re-enforce your 2A rights?
Unless the Gov't (local/state/Federal) can provide an absolute guarantee to the "Life Liberty etc" then aren't you under the bill of rights allowed to provide that yourself ? By arming yourself if necessary?
How can any level of Gov't argue in court with a straight face that this right doesn't exist to the point of being able to restrict your possession of firearms? Unless I guess if you are a felon engaged in criminal/non-legal activity not supported by the Constitution.
Just curious
