You really had to go out of your way to misconstrue my statement like that. Obviously I was speaking of the rights of the state to disarm violent criminals such as the Crips and Bloods. Presumably you would allow them all the weaponry they wish to own.
Rights are not put up to votes but laws are. If enough people say "no laws against the RtKaBA" then the politicians will pay attention. Public education is a vital necessity in this area as in most.
Not only that but people can have rights removed(or infringed) because of their transgressions against society. But you would probably argue against that as well.

Rights are not put up to votes but laws are. When a law that violates a right is put up to a vote, that right itself is up for a vote.
I'm sure you have no trouble understanding this.
