have an open discussion about what the Bill of Rights actually says about the ownership of guns and other property

One of the greatest arguments of our time is the second amendment right to 'bear arms'. The Constitution doesn't actually give you the right to own a gun, a car, a house, a cat, or any specific thing...
What we do have is basic civil liberties to own personal property, like guns. I feel that this is a clarification that would resolve many issues in our divided society.
