Nearly eight years after retiring from public service, former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/opinion/john-paul-stevens-repeal-second-amendment.html">penned</a> an article in The New York Times calling for a repeal of the Second Amendment. Just as he had done in his dissent in the landmark case <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/07-290.ZS.html">District of Columbia v. Heller</a>, Stevens expressed his belief that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms. He also went further by stating that Article V amendment procedures should be utilized to &#8220;weaken the N.R.A.&#8217;s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun control legislation.&#8221; In essence, Stevens believes that killing the Second Amendment would result in killing the foundation for our right to have a firearm.
However, Stevens is categorically wrong there, too. To believe that the Bill of Rights, which includes the Second Amendment, provides the people with individual liberty is to assume that government granted them. However, our Founding Fathers did not believe that to be the case. Recall The Declaration of Independence:
