It was an absolute right up until the "trusted" government officials of the past legislated it illegal.

The REAL point is not that you do or do not carry a gun because of the current laws. The real point is that you should not have a law in the first place that makes it illegal for your to defend you life should you need to.

The "REAL" point is that hunting is a privelage and you do not have the right to bow hunt but you do have the right to keep and bear arms.

I would rather give up a privelage than a constitutional right, but that's just me.
