I definitely need the right to bare arms... i wear a lot of t-shirts! Ohhh you mean BEAR arms. ;) hehe just messin on your spelling. But seriously, I can agree with your point there, though I think when you take something AWAY from the constitution, you're undermining the founders of this country. Additions of rights for blacks and women amongst other people only further promote the ideals that the constitution was founded on - equality. Taking arms away from citizens is a negative, as if one were to say that there was an error in the constitutional rights.

 

We have freedom of speech but we aren't allowed to yell fire in a public theater.  How is that any different?  That is a right of mine being taken away.

 

Yelling fire in a theatre infringes on the rights of other people.  By risking their life.

Simply owning weapons does not infringe on anyone elses rights.
