While speaking with Sen. Ted Cruz (R) on the Verdict podcast, Justice Clarence Thomas pointed out the Second Amendment “assumes the right, it doesn’t grant a right.” Thomas said this while making the overarching point the source of rights is God not government; that our rights pre-existed our U.S. government and even the U.S. itself.
