reply with this from the Massachusetts State Constitution First Part Article 17
Article XVII.
The people have a right to keep and to bear arms for the common defence. And as, in time of peace, armies are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be maintained without the consent of the legislature; and the military power shall always be held in an exact subordination to the civil authority, and be governed by it.
Looks like the word "right" to me, not privilege
That Article has no lawful effect anyway.
The Second Amendment does not conclude with: "Except as further clarified or restricted by State Constitution's or Federal aor State laws."
Is simply says "Shall Not Be Infringed."
Absent a CONSTITUTIONAL Amendment ALLOWING Federal, State or Local "infringements" any such article violates the Constitution.
