True but thats not the same thing. Someone kicks in my door they will get shot but not because I'm protecting my rights?No, there have been a couple cases where guys won in court after shooting cops for kicking in their doors, but those cases don't get much press..... for reasons that should be obvious.But no one has ever successfully defended those rights to date. The get Waco'dYou do realize when you vote people into power you give them the authority to make laws that may affect you right?because they made laws that make them better armed than us,,,See this is where you guys lose me. You claim you have all these rights and the ordinance to protect them and in the next breath you claim youre being abused. Why arent you attacking the government for taking away your rights?There's some truth to that, but it's also true that almost all of those people immediately begin ignoring the limits of the position they were elected to, and begin asserting power they were never given.You voted those people into power. You made that decision.Nothing in history more murderous than government, and yet there are still people who think they should decide who is armed and empowered?do you think those that do own nukes should have them????So why cant you own a LAW or hell...a nuclear weapon?Only inalienable rights (grants and privileges) can be taken or given or given up.When you become a convict you give up the right to own a gun.
Unalineabe rights are inherent, therefore not tangible, therefore cannot be given, taken, passed on etc.
They can only be restricted or ignored. The 2nd amendment clearly states: shall not be infringed- there are no caveats in shall not.
This is what the tar, feathers, ropes, and guns are for.
but not enough that we will remain silent about it or stop fighting to get them back,,,
...and quite often they do the wrong thing. That is why the right to keep and bear arms is included in the list of inalieable rights. To correct the wrong if needed.
