we are talking about an inalienable right!

The inalienable rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Gun-bearing IS a right, but not an inalienable one. Don't get me wrong, I'm against gun control as much as the next FReeper, I'm just pointing this out.

“Gun-bearing IS a right, but not an inalienable one.”

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

The D of I refers to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as being *****AMONG***** our unalienable rights. It does NOT limit them to LLPOH.

The right to life is meaningless without the ability to protect one’s life. When bad guys have guns, therefore, the right to bear guns is not just one of the unalienable rights, it is first and foremost among them.

God made man, but Sam Colt made them equal.
