Technically no it does not give individuals the right to keep and
bear arms. The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES A PRE EXISTING right.
If the 2nd gave the "right" then it would be a privilege not a right
and removing it from the constitution would
be all that was needed by gun grabbing fanatics to get rid of the
legal ownership of guns by citizens.
However for the purpose of the poll I did cast my vote for yes.

Exactly so Frank. The entire Bill of Rights was about protecting
pre existing rights from the power being granted to government.
This "inconvenient" fact is all too often ignored by BOTH aspects
of the Boot On Your Neck Party, and their respective toadies.
