   Can't say I agree with that. Bearing arms for self-defense may be a long   
   established right, but it isn't a second amendment right.   
      
   Under the second amendment you can keep and bear arms in order to form a   
   militia; but the second amendment doesn't say anything about keeping   
   arms for self-defense.

   That may be your personal opinion, but it isn't what the US Supreme Court   
   confirmed in the Heller case.

   ".. U.S. Supreme Court on June 26, 2008, held (5–4) that the Second   
   Amendment guarantees an individual right to possess firearms independent of   
   service in a state militia and to use firearms for traditionally lawful   
   purposes, including self-defense within the home."
