The people (i.e. sovereigns) ordained and established the Constitution not for themselves, but for their servants and trustees, that is to say United States of America (again see preamble). One may conclude, by reading the preamble, the people are not subject to the laws of government, independent of the Constitution, and owe no allegiance to any entity. With that said, the people may keep and bear arms, openly or concealed, at liberty and their servants and trustees shall not infringe otherwise. They (the people) are sovereign, unaccountable to any higher authority. On the other hand, if one is a citizen, then he/she is subject and owes allegiance to his/her master, that is government. Therefore, a citizen must obey the laws regarding firearms registration, license to conceal, etc. A people is not subject to this tyrannical and collectivistic nonsense. So the question is... Are you a people as reflected in the preamble, or a citizen as defined in Amendment XIV? Be careful, picking one affects the rights you possess.
