US v Cruikshank (1875)
(Edited)
You must also have agreed with these SCOTUS cases:
US v Cruikshank (1875)
The Justices held that the right of the people to keep and bear arms exists, and that it is a right that exists without the Constitution granting such a right, by stating "Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence."

Presser v Illinois (1886)
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is a limitation only on the power of Congress and the national government, and not of the states. But in view of the fact that all citizens capable of bearing arms constitute the reserved military force of the national government..., the states cannot prohibit the people from keeping and bearing arms...

United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez, 494 U.S. 259, 264 (1990)
The Second Amendment protects "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms," and the Ninth and Tenth Amendments provide that certain rights and powers are retained by and reserved to "the people."
