The government in the past, used laws restricting Second Amendment rights to violate property rights, now they are doing it again, this time with the enthusiastic support of the right.

John Locke maintained that private property rights are the cornerstone of all other rights, and it was it was out of this philosophical heritage that America's founders created a new nation, based on the principle that each individual is a sovereign within his own right. Property rights then became the acknowledged foundation upon which other constitutional freedoms rested, including freedom of speech and to bear arms. It was not until this century, when private property came under relentless ideological assault, that the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution were subjected to ambiguous and convoluted contention.

In the past some governments have used laws on property rights to violate Second Amendment rights.

Now some individuals & companies are doing it again, this time with the enthusiastic support of the left, as we see in the posted article.
