your argument is intriguing - can the term be used (perhaps more effectively) by demanding a government subsidy for the second ammendment? :-)

Rhetorically in argument with the left, yes, as in “If my fellow citizens are to be taxed to pay for the exercise of my right to health care, why are they not being taxed to pay for the exercise of my right to keep and bear arms? Maybe before we start government programs to support other natural rights not enumerated in the Constitution, we should pay for the exercise of those that are.”

Of course, seriously, as we both agree, my having a right does not create any right or duty for the government to tax my fellow citizens to pay for my exercise of that right, nor any duty in my fellow citizens to pay for my exercise of that right.
