Why? I never said rights were or were not granted by the
Constitution--all I addressed was the RKBA--you're the
creating strawmen and then trying to support them.

Rights are not granted by the Constitution. The
Constitution protects rights which pre-existed it.
Attempting to coinverse with the weasel is like trying
to pick up runny shit. Best to just killfile him and
forget him.

Whether rights are or are not granted by the Constitution
was not the point being addressed--the statement made was
that the RKBA was not granted by the Constitution.

So you believe in an hierarchy of rights in the Constitution,
eh Magoo?

Does the hierarchy look like Haliburton?
