But that is not what it says. It talks about ARMS. In your interpretation, the PEOPLE have the right to keep and bear ARMS (not guns). Arms could be small caliber weapons, or it could be a jar of anthrax. You make a good argument that some interpretation is needed. The amendment clearly protects the right to bear arms but what does arms mean. Everyone who thinks it means a jar of anthrax raise their hand... You're right it doesn't say ABORTION either. If you aren't free in your PERSON how can anyone possibly say that someone else is entitled to your "person" I'm not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean "if you are free in your person...". If your assumption was that you were not free then you really don't have a case but I don't think that was what you meant to say. To answer what I think you meant to say - Freedom does not include the freedom to kill others, except in cases like self defense. Tim
