First of all I don't belive in god and to an extent where I don't write it using caps and even if I did I have not read anything about right to bear arms in the bible.
For constitution they can be changed. The Norwegian conatitution fram 1814 stated that Jews and members if Society of Jesus are forbidden to enter the country.
Was our constitution, but it was not righ and it was the right thing to do to have it changed.
It is wrong and plane stupid to defent something just to defend it. Defend something because you think it is right, but others should have the same right to attack it because they think it is wrong.
I dont think a single country has a law that would forbid selfdefence and I doubt any politician ever would take that right away.
I got both family and friends I disagree with both in politics and religion, but we don't refere to each other as enemys.
Thank you for your thoughtful and speedy response in regard to this matter.
To keep the subject somewhat on-track, being a discussion of our enemies who would disregard and treat our 2nd Amendment rights with contempt, in regard to political events in Arizona & Montana, I believe some excursion into the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Biblical events is permissible.
The U.S. Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Believe me, dear Sir: there is not in the British empire a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do. But, by the God that made me, I will cease to exist before I yield to a connection on such terms as the British Parliament propose; and in this, I think I speak the sentiments of America.

Our founding fathers were God fearing men.
To me, "unalienable Rights" would include self defense, like Life.
The Bible and God: (this gets into kind of graphic stuff)
Right to bear arms- Bible?
13 And David said to his men, "Every man strap on his sword!" And every man of them strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. And about four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage.
The swords were arms privately owned and controlled and the four hundred were part of a Militia that was well organized by King David. The "baggage" probably included food for lunch, extra weapons & parts, tents and blankets. David, no doubt relied on individuals that in our current military would be supply types to organize the logistical part of the operation.
More - a different event and time.
4 Then a champion[f] came out from the camp of the Philistines. His name was Goliath; he was from Gath. He was close to seven feet tall.[g] 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and was wearing scale body armor. The weight of his bronze body armor was 5,000 shekels.[h] 6 He had bronze shin guards[i] on his legs, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders. 7 The shaft[j] of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the iron point of his spear weighed 600 shekels.[k] His shield bearer was walking before him.
Then
40 He (David) took his staff in his hand, picked out five smooth stones from the stream, placed them in the pouch[au] of his shepherd's bag, took his sling in hand, and approached the Philistine.
Then
49 David reached his hand into the bag and took out a stone. He slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank deeply into his forehead, and he fell down with his face to the ground.
Goliath was one mean nasty mother, big enough to cover a 4X8 foot sheet of stuff standing on end. After removing
Goliath, David did the customary possession of the enemy's weapon and then, as custom for that time, took the
enemy's head to certify a conclusion of the event. David was not issued the sling, or the smooth (no doubt very spherical to allow true flight) by government authority. David was an agent of God and relied and used his
unalienable rights to resolve the threat of an aggressor (keep & bear arms).
I have only a casual knowledge of the U.S Constitution and Bible but use both as daily guidance. I have no respect or affection for those who would negate or remove my
unalienable rights and would regard them as enemies. This goes far beyond preferences of what is right or wrong.
Any possibility, of placing your native language in (...) next to your English words so I might learn more? Again, I admire your bilingual abilities.
