- The right to keep and bear arms belongs to individual people, it existed before the Constitution was adopted, and does not depend on militia or other group membership.
- Self defense is a "core," "inherent" and "natural" human right, and handguns are "the quintessential self-defense weapon."
- "Collective rights" arguments are bogus and are out of the debate.
