[Paul S.]

... It is a little known fact that YOUR right to bear and carry Arms comes from the rights we had here. ......

A point of clarification here.

Peter's statement is correct and accurate. What Peter is referring to is that English Law and hence American, Australian, Canadian, Kiwi, etc. law derives from the Magna Carta which, amongst other things guaranteed one's right to arms, trial by one's peers, etc. The Magna Carta is a cornerstone of the laws of almost all English speaking countries.
