"Voting is not a right because the constitution doesn't say it is."
In fact, the phrases "right to vote," or "right of the citizens of the United States to vote," or variations thereof, are mentioned more times in the constitution than the "right to bear arms," which is mentioned only once. In fact, none of these rights are explicitly enumerated in the original text of the constitution as "bearing arms is a right" or "voting is a right," they are stated, in amendments, as noted above. So, anyone arguing that voting isn't a right is also arguing that bearing arms isn't a right.
