I line up with natural human rights as regards to enlightenment philosophy, which is so embedded in our constitution. As I have said before, Jefferson et al skipped ahead with the second amendment because the right to bear arms springs from the natural right to self protection. I wish they had seen the need to qualify the second amendment as born from the natural right to self protection but they didn't. I don't think we would even need a specific right to bear arms if the second amendment had made it clear that we can do whatever is needed to protect ourselves from harm ... up to and including bearing arms as needed.
