ORIGINAL: Politesub53 I simply pointed out a reply to someone else that we had the right to bear arms first. Well I don't think you had a codified general right to bear arms at all, let alone first, until Parliament finally passed the English Bill of Rights in 1689, and if I'm reading it right, it only allowed Protestants to have arms for their defense, condemning James II for "causing several good subjects being Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists were both armed and employed contrary to law". K. You need to research our history a bit deeper than that. Common law is common law, codified or not it was still a right.
