Americans who hold the musket-rights granting Second Amendment near and dear to their hearts...

I have an issue with the reference to muskets since the 2A names "arms" not muskets and many federal, state and local laws address lawful activities involving other types of guns.
I consider "rights granting" to be offensive in view of centuries of judicial precedent determining that the Bill of Rights is a protection for preexisting rights and not a means of rights creation.

Sensationalism and hyperbole undermines credibility.
