here's another.
The constitution gives right to bear arms/bare arms/whatever. Would it be unconstitutional to insist that everyone had a gun? Is there a right to be unarmed? Would gun crime be reduced if everyone were armed?

The Constitution doesn't "give" us any rights. It protects the rights we're born with. We have a right to defend ourselves using any weapons we choose and we have the right to choose not to own any. We do NOT have the right to disarm others or to limit which weapons they may own; nor do we have the right to use the force of government to do it for us.
