Overall Americans are at 55/33, with even Republicans at a surprisingly narrow 37/53 in opposition
Americans are strongly opposed overall but Democrats are on the fence at 44/46.
Democrats are also evenly split at 39/41 on, uh, whether to repeal the Second Amendment.
Amendment II A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Going by volume,
Except it is interpreted all the time in law. J

Going by volume,
Ok, let's go by volume.
The National Firearms Act of 1934,Gun Control Act of 1968,Brady Handgun Prevention Act of 1993 that created the unconstitutional background check the SCOTUS said.
That affects the inalienable rights of every man and woman over the age of 18 for the last 75+ years.
The Volume award goes to the Democrats.
Plenty of others so people could still bear arms.

You keep using the term inalienable like you really really want it to be true when it's not.
That right was given to us by men.

It's illegal.
Everyone knows it.
Because A person is not supposed to be held answerable to a capital or otherwise infamous crime he/she/IT did not have anything to do with.
The law and the constitution is interpreted all the time by people who have spent years studying the law around it.
In its 1997 decision in the case, the Supreme Court ruled that the provision of the Brady Act that compelled state and local law enforcement officials to perform the background checks was unconstitutional on 10th amendment grounds.

So our RIGHTS come from each other?
Is that what your saying?
Because they don't.
In the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the "Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."
