I just wonder how many people that think we need to outlaw "assault rifles" are willing to volunteer to take them from people?
 
2A and the B of R are not inalienable. So those choices are inept.

To give my gun up to confiscation is not a choice. It is seizure by authority whether I show up or, if not, they come to me.

No need to take them... Stop manufacturing them and the ammunition for them and they become useless relics over time...

Why does this require courage? Are you intimating that all the law abiding gun owners would suddenly not abide laws?

No need to "take it"... just make it worthless...
 
Conservative arguing guns: good guys with guns! Law abiding!

Long enough time line in all of their arguments: we will murder every last person if it comes down to keeping our guns.

Oh, we know a tough guy like you will never be affected... Joe Bob who lives in burbs and bought an AR 5 years ago and shoots 2 or 3 times a year is unlikely to avail themselves of the black market...

That's not what the founder believed.

There were two camps on the Bill of Rights, one that believed they were inalienable rights, but did not want a Bill of Rights in the Constitution because then people may think these rights come from Government, and thus could be taken away by Government.

The other camp believed they were inalienable rights, but unless at least some of them were enumerated that government would trample all over our inalienable rights.

The second camp won out, but both camps believed as the ACLU does, they are inalienable rights.

Certain Unalienable Rights"
Democracy and liberty are often thought to be the same thing, but they are not.

Democracy means that people ought to be able to vote for public officials in fair elections, and make most political decisions by majority rule.
Liberty, on the other hand, means that even in a democracy, individuals have rights that no majority should be able to take away.

The rights that the Constitution's framers wanted to protect from government abuse were referred to in the Declaration of Independence as "unalienable rights." They were also called "natural" rights, and to James Madison, they were "the great rights of mankind." Although it is commonly thought that we are entitled to free speech because the First Amendment gives it to us, this country's original citizens believed that as human beings, they were entitled to free speech, and they invented the First Amendment in order to protect it. The entire Bill of Rights was created to protect rights the original citizens believed were naturally theirs.
