Enumeration of rights

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Our founders knew that "inasmuch as it would be impossible to list all rights it would be dangerous to list some because there would be those who would seize on the absence of the omitted rights to assert that government was unrestrained as to those."

They were prophets.

“the right of the people to keep and bear arms is not infringed by laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons.”

In other news, the right of the people to eat is not infringed by laws prohibiting the carrying of food.

Restraining government was central to our founders
