Government can grant rights within a legalistic framework; it’s their laws and their power to exercise.
The Second Amendment is a good example.

This is the Liberal viewpoint...oft stated publicly by the likes of Obama, and John Kerry.
Any Conservative worth his salt will tell you exactly the opposite. We are not the government's subjects, for it to grant and remove rights as it sees fit. Those rights are embedded in our own humanity.

The bill of rights was created to protect our God given rights. The states, using legal frame works can grant priviliges that can be taken away. IE: driving a car. There is no comparison to the 2nd amendment.
