About that right to arm bears...

Where do I donate?

You would need to be  bear to deal with the recoil.

Technically, a Panda bear is not really a bear.

True bears are Brown, Black, and Grizzley Bears.

Pandas are relatives of racoons, and are mostly vegetarians.

Technically, a Gatling gun isn't a pistol. And technically, a panda wouldn't be able to handle one anyway.

[Xavier_Onassis]

I doubt that even real bears could handle firearms. And being as most Pandas are Chinese, the US Constitution does not apply to them, there is no right to arm them at all.
 It might even be considered treasonous to arm Pandas, being as they are possibly Communist in ideology, and would seek to nationalize our bamboo industry.

The Supreme Court has held that the US Constitution applies to foreign nationals while they are in the US. That's why my father can buy a gun here.

Does it apply to foreign animals?

Pandas are not Ursa but because they have a sort of a thumb , they may be better eqipped to handle firearms than a regular bear.

I would assume any parts that apply to animals born here would also apply to animals that live here even if they were born abroad.

One of these might make bear hunting more aventureous , if the bear had it.

Of course of all animals, the bear is one of the best armed in the first place.

The old saying about bear hunting is that sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you.

===========================================
But does the Constitution actually refer to animals?

I tend to think not. I don't think the Constitution gives dogs, even dogs over 21, the right to vote.

I don't think that bears live much longer than bears. Pandas might have something akin to a thumb, but they are not actually aggressive, and would probably not wish to use firearms.

If one lives on a low-nutrient food like bamboo shoots, one needs to spend most of one's life eating.

I think that the rumors about armed Pandas are the result of  misplaced commas.

CORRECT: The Panda eats shoots and leaves.
INCORRECT: The Panda eats, shoots, and leaves.

Plane, take careful note.

The Constitution gives the right to vote to certain persons only in the amendments , most of the determination of what is a person with the right to vote is ,is determined in statehouses.

Someday one of the small states will discover this loophole and make squirrels into citizens , thereby increasing their number of congressmen representing the state exponentially.

Squirrels do not ever reach voting age, and in any event cannot prove their date of birth.

You would have to select some other more longer-lived species.
