[nabs-l] an interesting question

[Mark J. Cadigan]

It is both. The right to bare arms is a right guaranteed by the 
constitution; this is not to be confused with a privilege. Having a weapon 
in the house is a good way of keeping safe, it has saved many peoples lives. 
As a political issue, it is important because it is clearly stating that 
blind people have exactly the same rights as sighted people.

As a side bar, driving is a privelige. There is nothing in the constitution 
that guarantees it as a right.
