1. I agree, rights are always affected by how they affect others.
But, your gun ownership isn't only affected by how it affects others. It is also affected by your age, mental state, physical capabilities, etc. I would call these qualifications or criteria. That puts us back in the realm of earning the privilege.
2. No, not for being white, but they CAN say "you're too young, you can't drive" or "your not mentally competent, you can't drive". Again, an earned privilege.
3. This sounds like you've found an inconsistency in what I've been saying, but I don't quite understand what you mean.
"Or tell my wife.. your Asian, so you cannot drive.. (though we would all be safer:2razz
."
That's the best thing I've read on this forum so far.
