Your post leads me to think that maybe military arms should be available to the masses so that if the gov't were to get out of hand the masses could rise up and put it back in its place.

What was the difference between military fitearms and civilian firearms when the second amendment was drafted and passed? The intention was that the masses be equally armed.

What if killing someone with a gun made that person happy?
Would that not contradict life, liberty, and happiness?
I forget the word or phrase (and I'm not looking for it after 65 hours of teaching social studies and book work this week. ) but the government does summarize that we have these rights so long as they don't infringe on those same rights of others.

You answered your own question. Killing someone would most definitely infringe on that persons right to life, therefore you
do not have the right to
persue happiness in that manner.
What I'd still like to know is why the gun runner mentioned earlier is still a roofer in New York and not a prisoner in a federal prison.
