Correct, as far as being codified.
I already got that part. We both agree on that.
I'm talking about the right itself and how much our right to keep and bear predates the Constitution and even the DOI, for that matter.
The only reason I raise this point is that too many people on BOTH sides keep trying to promote the idea that our right to keep and bear arms comes from the 2nd Amendment, when it doesn't.
The 2nd Amendment could be repealed tomorrow, and we would still have the right to keep and bear arms that our founders had, even before the Revolutionary War!
It's seen as natural law coming from the Creator. Thomas Hobbes and John Locke wrote about it.
