Please show me where someone thinks owning a gun is a human right. That would mean a six year old could own one.

Let that sink in.
You asked for it.

I looked through your article and didn't see owning a gun described as a human right.

Does not mean it isn't there...I just didn't find it.
 
Dang, does anyone even bother looking at Lahkota's stupid memes? I just scroll down when I see it's himDefinitely one of the most shallow, useless on this board.
I was thinking about starting a thread "Conservative memes," but have not done so so far.

What do you guys think? (Thumbs up, thumbs down, or reply. Thanks.)

You don't need an article to support that claim; it's done through reasoned thought. Of course, it's always going to be debatable, like all rights; they are not scientific laws of nature or anything, so you can't really "prove" it, only that it makes sense. Rights are granted through (legal) laws, and can be changed over time.

I claim that it is a fundamental human to be able to protect oneself and one's family, without assistance from others.

The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution says that the fundamental right [of law-abiding citizens of sound mind] to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed."

Put those two things together, and I conclude that gun ownership is a human right of American citizens, just like the right to free speech and other rights.

Jim

Thank you for your honesty.

Your OP claim is based on your conclusions. While I appreciate your thoughts on the matter...I don't agree.

It says that citizens have the right to bear arms.

That is a right some feel can be removed or restricted.

It's cool. We can disagree. Thanks.

I agree with you that the 2A can be restricted. You can't easily own a rocket launcher or dynamite legally. And as I mentioned in my OP, mentally insane people and criminals can have their right to keep and bear arms restricted; rightly-so, IMO.

I think my post was clear though - Law-abiding and of sound mind. and citizens (or legal residents). ID required. Just like it should be required for voting.

It's a fundamental human right of Americans.

All the above just my opinions, of course.

Jim
