Nice try at spin!

Here is the quote: ""The 2nd amendment protects a legitimate individual right"

That in no way shape or form is equivalent to "an individual right to own guns is a legitimate right." Not in the SLIGHTEST.

He is stating that the 2nd amendment protects a (legal) individual right. If you doubt that, there are plenty of online dictionaries to look up what the word "legitimate" means.

Now, what makes something legal or not? The laws that govern it - as in GUN CONTROL (BOO!) laws.
