Well, look what I've found;
.
Amendment VII
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
.
In addition, the intention is to reinforce the ideals of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments;
.
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Common Law
LECTURE VI.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, JR.
POSSESSION.
PARA. 27 Sent. 9-13;
.
"...Again, a large part of the advantages enjoyed by one who has a RIGHT are NOT created by the law. The law does NOT enable me to USE or ABUSE this book which lies before me. That is a physical power which I have WITHOUT the aid of the law. What the law does is simply to PREVENT OTHER men to a greater or less extent from INTERFEREING with my USE or ABUSE. And this analysis and example APPLY to the case of POSSESSION, as well as to OWNERSHIP."
.
"Such being the DIRECT WORKING OF THE LAW IN THE CASE OF POSSESSION, one would think that the animus or intent most nearly parallel to its movement would be the intent of which we are in search. If what the law does is to EXCLUDE OTHERS FROM INTERFERING WITH THE OBJECT, it would seem that the intent which the law should require is an INTENT TO EXCLUDE OTHERS. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH AN INTENT IS ALL THAT COMMON LAW DEEMS NEEDFUL, and THAT ON PRINCIPLE NO MORE SHOULD BE REQUIRED."
.
Amendment II
.
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the RIGHT of THE PEOPLE to KEEP and BEAR ARMS, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
.
GOOD BYE, ILLEGAL GUN BANS! YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED! TRY THEM AGAIN AND WE'LL SUE YOU INTO OBLIVION!
.
LET THE SUITS BEGIN!
