There are, however usually federal or state restrictions, such as no carry inside security at an airport, in a post office, in a school or on school property (with some exeptions), in a court facility. (In my state at least.)

Worth some thought about whether the government can "grant" rights, or simply restrict them. Which gets into a philosophical discussion we can't really have here.

That is how concerned our founders were of an overreaching and oppressive federal body.

The text:


Recent supreme court rulings have re-affirmed that this was not a right delegated to some organized body, but that the militia is the people, and hence it is an individual right. At the time of the writing of the second amendment the militia consisted of all able bodied men of at least 18 years of age.
