+104 (second amendment interpretation 77)

The way the phrase "the right of the people" was used in the Fourth Amendment may not seem encouraging to what was mentioned here about it in the Second Amendment. But on a more careful look this could not only be neutralized but also flipped the other way around. The initial uneasy feeling about the use of that phrase in comparison to how it was used in the Fourth Amendment comes from how, in contrast with seeing it referring to a controlled or conditioned right here, it seemed to refer to a natural right there. However, seeing "the right of the people" imply a natural right in the Fourth Amendment follows seeing it referring to an already existing right. But as direct as being the other side of that same already existing right coin is that the creation of the Amendment did not create that right. Sharing the meaning of that phrase from the level of that the right was not being created by the Amendment instead of jumping directly to the conclusion of a natural right seems to relieve this apparent conflict or unfit in the use of that phrase between the Second and the Fourth Amendments. In addition, now it is easier to see how much that phrase was clearly put to suggest an unconditioned natural right in the Fourth Amendment strengthening even more seeing otherwise in the Second because of how it was preceded.
