Have you noticed that you can get drunk and kill people and the

someone the government won't give you another gun.
So you're caliming that Teddy Roosevelt was a facist?

Good for you for backing the upcoming psych testing.

Teddy was a Progressive, "that is a fascist" in any clothing that will
get them elected.
Progressives weasel their way into any party they think they can get
elected in.
Well... as usual you got it wrong.
Everyone getting a drivers license should be psych tested, but guns are
a right, and rights aren't handed out by our Government. If they are not
given they can't be taken away.

If that's not it, then you need to fear the psych testing you claim will

Actually once a person has served their sentence they are free and
without any crimes so they can't be discriminated against. The
Government is trying to make them a *NON* person as they are doing with
babies, infants and the elderly who are ill. If these *HUMANS* are no

like prisoners on death row and babies being aborted, soon the elderly
will be helped by government to their eternal dirt nap.

[" Legal rights (sometimes also called civil rights or statutory rights)
are rights conveyed by a particular polity, codified into legal statutes
by some form of legislature, and as such are contingent upon local laws,
customs, or beliefs. *In contrast* , *natural rights* (also called moral
rights or *inalienable rights* ) are rights which are *not* contingent
upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of a particular society or polity.
Natural rights are thus necessarily universal, whereas legal rights are
culturally and politically relative. "]
WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People
to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal
Station to which *the Laws of Nature* and of Nature’s God *entitle*
them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal,
that *they are endowed* *by their Creator* with *certain unalienable*
Rights* , that *among these* are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of
Happiness—That *to secure these Rights* , Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,
that whenever *any form of Government* becomes destructive of these
Ends, it is the *Right of the People* to alter or to abolish it, and to
institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and
organizing its Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
Governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that
Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But *when a long Train* of Abuses and *Usurpations*, pursuing invariably
the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is *their Right* , it is their *Duty* , to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such
has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the
Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of
Government. The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a
History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct
Object the *Establishment of an absolute Tyranny* over these States. To
prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.
He has *refused his Assent to Laws*, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public Good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing
Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the Accommodation of large
Districts of People, unless those People would relinquish the Right of
Representation in the Legislature, a Right inestimable to them, and
formidable to Tyrants only.
He has called together Legislative Bodies at Places unusual,
uncomfortable, and distant from the Depository of their public Records,
for the sole Purpose of fatiguing them into Compliance with his Measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with
manly Firmness his Invasions on the Rights of the People.
He has refused for a long Time, after such Dissolutions, to cause others
to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of
Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the Dangers of
Invasion from without, and Convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that
Purpose *obstructing the Laws* *for Naturalization of foreigners* ;
refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither, and
raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his assent
to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the Tenure of their
Offices, and the Amount and Payment of their Salaries.
*He has erected* *a Multitude* *of new Offices* , and *sent hither*
*Swarms of Officers* *to harrass* our People, and *eat out* *their
Substance* .
He has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the
consent of our Legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to
the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a *Jurisdiction foreign*
*to our Constitution* , and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his
Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders
which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all Parts of the World:
*For imposing Taxes* on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring
Province, establishing therein an arbitrary Government and enlarging its
Boundaries, so as to render it at once an Example and fit Instrument for
introducing the same absolute Rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and
*altering fundamentally* *the forms of* *our Governments* :
For suspending our own Legislatures, and *declaring themselves*
*invested with Power* to legislate for us in all Cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection
and waging War against us.
He has plundered our Seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our Towns, and
destroyed the Lives of our People.
He is, at this Time, transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to
compleat the Works of Death, Desolation, and Tyranny already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty and Perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous Ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized Nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to
bear Arms against their Country, to become the Executioners of their
friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to
bring on the Inhabitants of our Frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages,
whose known Rule of Warfare, is an undistinguished Destruction, of all
Ages, Sexes and Conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble Terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by
repeated Injury. A Prince, whose Character is thus marked by *every act*
*which may* *define a Tyrant* , is unfit to be the Ruler of a free People.
Nor have we been wanting in Attentions to our British Brethren. We have
warned them from Time to Time of Attempts by their Legislature to extend
an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the
Circumstances of our Emigration and Settlement here. We have appealed to
their native justice and Magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the
Ties of our common Kindred to disavow these Usurpations, which, would
inevitably interrupt our Connections and Correspondence. They too have
been deaf to the Voice of Justice and of Consanguinity. We must,
therefore, acquiesce in the Necessity, which denounces our Separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of Mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace,
Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in
General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World
for the Rectitude of our Intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority
of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly Publish and Declare, That
these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be, FREE AND
INDEPENDENT STATES, that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all political Connection between them and the
State of Great-Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that
as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full Power to levy War,
conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all
other Acts and Things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. And for
the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection
of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

"Laws", by a caring and knowledgeable Government of the people, with the

Otherwise, explain why you make and raise your fists to protect your

When was that?
Where ever you live it may be just words, I live where these words are
the basic foundation of society.
They are as basic as E=mc�. Who gave you your rights? If it's another
man then you're a slave to that man. I was born with my rights and no
man can usurp them without harming everyone else in my Nation.
Ask a tribesman in New Guinea what E=mc� means to him, then ask him if
he should be made to live in a cave with the exit caged off.... even he
will tell you, you have no right to imprison him.
Some rights/things are universally understood.
Tell him his God/s or religions don't exist and he can no longer pray
and he will tell you, you have no right to do that.
You can tell the tribesman he can't use a wood fire to cook because it
creates pollution, he will tell you he has a natural(God) given right to
cook his food.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That is a giant leap of illogic. Dunno about you but I was created by my
mother and father.
> They allow you to choose your own creator, even if it was the Giant
> Spaghetti...
A vastly superior dog than the Judeo-Christian sociopath.
How's your Moms?
As you have no respect for the Declaration or of Organic or Natural
Law, or by extension, the US Republic, your question is academic.
But because your are inextricably a part of the mix and will be
effected by events, you should know what is shaking your universe.
Some people have the capacity to deduce their origins and their
rights.
Some people know that they have the inherent right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and live their lives
accordingly.
Since you are not one of these people, believe what you will,
but do not infringe the rights of others.
He wanted you to say that natural rights come from the creator, so he
could call you a "CrazyMotherFucker" in Curly-style.
As do I, but that doesn't mean that they originate from some magical
source. The concept of rights did not exist until man created them.
> They are as basic as E=mc�. Who gave you your rights? If it's another

Not true.
> I was born with my rights
You were born with the rights designated to you as a member of whatever
nation you are a citizen of. Nature does not grant rights. If it did
bunny rabbits would have rights, too.

Correct, because it's against the law.

Only because people have agreed, arbitrarily, to them. There is no
objective source.

If the law grants him the right to pray then he will be correct.

And I will tell him that he would first have to prove that the source he
claims gave him a right is in extant.

I'm making no effort to infringe any one's rights. I recognize the
rights that I and others have. However, I am not illogical enough to
claim that these rights magically appeared. I know and understand that
they are man-made concepts, originated by man.
I don't know the exact time and date, but I will tell you that it was part
of man's enlightenment. It was then that the concepts of natural rights
arose, but it was purely a human concept. Nature grants no rights. Nature
is.
Yes the concept did originate from a magical source, it was seen in the
minds of all men. We all know that these rights are inherent to human
existence. This is in our core, our instinct.... We know

No I was born where they respect the rights I was born with, I have the
rights whether the Government recognizes them or not.

It's against his natural rights. Even when the law says it would be OK
to imprison him for no reason, he still has the Natural right to be free.

When did we agree with tribesmen that locking them up for no reason was

Either way he is correct, the right is not Governments to give or

Those were here before man.... we "discovered" them.... As we

Scientific achievements due to man's nature. These are tangible,
quantifiable successess. Rights are a concept, created by man and not in
existence for any one until given to him.

Those are not natural rights. Those are what humanity decided all people
should be entitled to, not due to any inherent existence in nature, but due
to the way we think.

Correct. And under those governments those rights ceased to exist.
They were suppressed, but they always existed, even before "we" were
aware of them.

Can you come up with a century or a millennium perhaps?
Really? So what is the origin of Nature?
Who established Nature?
What makes you think that Nature is inherent, but rights are not?
Neither did the concept of Nature.
Indeed, all concepts are created by man.
So what makes this concept any different from the others?
Sorry, but you don't have rights, by your own admission.

Here's a definition of privilege from dictionary.com:
'any of the rights common to all citizens under a modern constitutional
government'
So it's a privilege, as previously stated.

Privilege - A particular and peculiar benefit or advantage enjoyed by a
person, company or class, beyond the common advantages of other citizens.
An exceptional or extraordinary power or exemption. A peculiar right,
advantage, exemption, power, franchise, or immunity held by a person or a
class, not generally possessed by others.

Which definition makes the definition I posted no less true.
Just giving you the legal definition. One thing you may look at is your
definition says "common to all citizens" and the legal definition talks
about things "not generally possessed by others".
I know. But your definition is dependent on mine. There can be no legal
definition without there citizenship involved.

Life is like a bowl of habeneros...what you do today
may well burn your ass tomorrow.
Interesting you chose #5 of the ones listed...
priv·i·lege [priv-uh-lij, priv-lij] Show IPA noun, verb, -leged, -leg·
ing.
?noun
1. a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the
advantages of most: the privileges of the very rich.
2. a special right, immunity, or exemption granted to persons in
authority or office to free them from certain obligations or

danger of a libel suit.
3. a grant to an individual, corporation, etc., of a special right or
immunity, under certain conditions.
4. the principle or condition of enjoying special rights or immunities.

9. to exempt (usually fol. by from).
10. to authorize or license (something otherwise forbidden).
He cherry picked the 5th one listed in his source...
Close. I actually left out a word. It should've read 'there being
citizenship involved'. It read correctly while I was thinking it. It
just didn't reach my fingers.
It doesn't matter which definition it is. It doesn't change the validity
of it.
Also doesn't change the fact he is using the word wrong.
If it a right then why does society prevent felons from owning guns?
TMT
LOL...many of us would like to ask why some felons
vote .......Republican.
TMT
Society is violating the constitution when is takes a free man's rights,
once someone has paid their debt for their crime, they are no longer a
criminal...... treating them like slaves or 3/5 of a human is not
acceptable. If they are dangerous then the sentence should keep society
safe until the criminal gets out, someone on Parole or other out
criminal situation may be acceptable but once the sentence is ended they
should be 100% free citizens.
If it is a right it cannot be taken away.
If it is a privilege it can be regulated by society...as gun ownership
is.
All the discussion does not change reality....gun ownership is a
privilege that can and is revoked when necessary by society.
Requiring psych testing for gun ownership is coming....because gun
owners cannot regulate themselves.
I suspect it has something to do with their lack of bladder control.

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, *shall not be

Illegally. Just as they sold slaves and that was wrong.
> Requiring psych testing for gun ownership is coming....because gun

Government is NOT permitted to regulate guns.
Damn, you have been exposed to the same problem I have from time to time.
Probably why they put it in the *BILL OF RIGHTS*

It can be violated, NOT taken away.
The government can only violate your rights.

So why are felons denied their right to bear arms?
Why does the Government require a permit (which can be denied) before
you are allowed to own a gun?
TMT
I agree...rights can be taken away.
TMT
Well said.
TMT
LOL...play with the words but the results are the same...no guns.
Most of us live in reality...unlike gun nuts.

Yes, but for non violent crimes, that right to keep and bear arms should be
restored when incarceration is complete.

Yes indeed they do. So did segregation, ghettoization, seperate
schooling, and so forth.
All of which were implimented by racists, bigots and others who paid no
attention to the Constitution. Fascists and totalitarians for the most
part.
Just like you.
Tell you what Skippy...lets let you work on removing the 2nd Amendment
to the Constitution, and we will work on removing your 1st Amendment
rights. Is it a deal?

Not legally except in very specifically named instances for criminal

It can be violated, not recognized (as RKBA in Mexico or Jamaica) or
