I am totally against gun control, though I don't own a gun, obviously.
But still, I think gun ownership is FAR from the most important right. Just about every other amendment is being used like toilet paper by this administration (I half expect them to start commandeering houses as barracks!)... but the second, of course, is untouched. I would MUCH prefer the opposite - though obviously, IDEALLY, then we could have BOTH gun rights and all other rights.

That's not a right, fool... and never was. It was a law that infringed on basic human rights, like they all do.

Over many thousands of years of human culture, the very idea of "rights" has gone through so many permutations as to be unrecognizable from one epoch to another. What is within the field of "rights" under consideration? Exactly what we have today? More? Less? Do we have the perfect amount? How this applies to this thread is entirely debatable; just as absolute statements are of debatable value.
