I'm not sure what you're saying here. I never stated that the right to keep and bear arms (or any right) is inherently given by the Constitution since that would be false. The Constitution does _protect_ and specifically enumerate some inherent human rights.

This is a religious belief - that rights are inherent to human beings. It's debatable whether gun ownership is an inherent human right beyond how we define them.

So the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights is religious?

If the Second Amendment doesn't grant a legal right to keep and bear arms, why is it necessary?
If it does, and is, how is it any different than a gun license or permit in being a legal fiction whose legitimacy depends on a government whose motives can't be trusted?
