Just because a right is inherent, that doesn't mean it can't be abused. As I have said before, there is no such thing as an absolute right without responsibility.
You didn't answer my question Jillian.
there has always been a right to defense of self and defense of others and defense of one's property... even the biblical mandate says only "thou shalt not murder" (not thou shalt not kill). That has nothing to do with inherant rights...it has to do with societal mores.
As I said, the concept of inherant rights is an interesting philosophical construct. it doesn't exist in the real world.
