Also, every right on the Bill of Rights is a personal, god given right to individuals, not to states. Since you've never read a political text in your fucking life, in a Democratic system (or republic as we live in), power is distributed amongst the citizens. The common man is given the franchise IE political power via the vote and it was viewed as reasonable and practical to also remove the governments monopoly of the legitimate use of force, since everyone involved in writing this document had just used force a shit load in order to shake off oppression, a use they considered 'Legitimate'. Both are designed with that in mind, to distribute what is normally a monopoly by the government amongst the people.
Also, several rulings were made early on to protect the rights of private citizens to own ARTILLERY. This is the age of grapeshot cannons, where a single shot could kill dozens of men. You are a coward and moron. Just admit you want daddy government to think for you so you don't have to think for yourself, I'll at least respect the honesty.
