    By talking point, you mean how the US constitution was written and the whole point of the supreme court?

    Edit: Until congress does their job and pass legislation on these matters, this is unfortunately how the cookie crumbles.

      I mean that rights are inherent to being human, not bestowed by 9 people with law degrees

        They’re only declared inherent human rights on the very same sheet of paper that defines the rights and codifies them into law. Without the government backing them, they don’t mean anything and are just words written on a piece of paper.

          The constitution doesn’t bestow those rights, it just defines how the government interacts with them

        I agree in principle, but not in totality (largely due to bad faith arguements). Everyone should have the right to privacy and basic essentials, to carry a glock around wherever not so much.
