Of course they are natural rights, that’s why Madison didn’t want them in the constitution. He was worried that by listing rights, they would be interpreted as an exhaustive list. The bill of rights was a compromise with the democratic-republicans to get the constitution adopted, and that’s why they included the ninth amendment. I’m talking about the legality of removing the second amendment, not the morality. Of course people have the right to keep and bear arms. I’m just saying that it is totally within the rules to repeal the second amendment if the process is actually followed.
