Ancillary Rights (UPDATED)
I said that my brain was mostly dead. I couldn't even copy and paste correctly.
The brain is mostly dead. I marked this article back in December 2023 for reading and writing about.
When it comes to the Second Amendment, there are at least four primary ancillary rights that arise from the plain text:
the right to train with firearms
the right to purchase firearms
the right to purchase firearmsthe right to make firearmsand the right to acquire ammunition
To illustrate, one of the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment’s text is the right of free speech. But that right also protects a host of other ancillary rights such as the right to paper and ink, the right to print and sell newspapers, and the right of access to the public square (or social media). Similarly, the U.S. Supreme Court has found that the right to counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment implies the right to pay for a lawyer, or to have counsel appointed in serious cases for indigents.
