I really like this video. It showed up as a YT ad. Historical context is key.

PragerU is a great channel, a firm conservative voice in the liberal YouTube sphere.

Not in Hawaii,
The only rights you have here are granted by the government
that is run by the Democrat party.
Hawaii is a third-world sewer(politically) that is an American state.

The lesson the powers that be took from the Overthrow is that people who are unarmed, unmotivated, and uncoordinated are easily exploitable.

My "quibble" with Volokh is an important one, at least according to the Founders.
He frames the question at the beginning as "Does an American citizen have a constitutional right to own a gun?" Many of the founders and other commentators during or shortly after the Bill of Rights was presented and adopted made clear that the Constitution does NOT grant any rights. The Constitution prevents the government from infringing what are natural or god-given rights that exist at the birth of an individual. Many court cases, including Supreme Court cases have confirmed that the rights protected by the Constitution are NOT granted by that document. Thus even if the Second Amendment were repealed, the human right of self-defense using arms would not be effected, even if the government outlawed arms. If one chose to exercise one's natural/god-given right to keep and bear arms one might find oneself incarcerated or killed by the government, which is a version under which we currently live, especially here in Hawaii.
This article is a brief synopsis of the founders views on the natural/god-given/human individual right to keep and bear arms:

United States v. Cruikshank
The right there specified is that of "bearing arms for a lawful purpose." This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.
