rich4eagle,
Change is good. Even the Supreme Court errs and has to change. For example, in the Dred Scott Decision, the majority opinion was based on the premise, in effect, that "Negroes" could not be citizens because they did not possess the right to bear arms, among other things. So, you see, the right to "tote guns" as you put it, is more important than you think.
It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.
