Says you. Americans have always had private gun ownership rights and have always owned guns, since the inception of this country, give or take a few tyrannical gun bans instituted by certain states in the past, the latest of which was Chicago I believe, which was overturned by the Supreme Court. YES, Chicago citizens CAN defend themselves with handguns! It was determined that the Chicago handgun ban infringed upon the constitutional right to bear arms of American citizens.
So, it still doesn't matter what you think or say. It is still a right. You can try to spin it anyway you want, but it is clear that the framers of the Constitution intended for the people of the United States to be armed and ready at a moment's notice. You really should take a history class.
