Please don't take this as a snarky reply.
When your born with these rights it just can't be explained to an outsider.
Americans always act as if they are the only people on the planet with rights. Such a shame most of them do not realise they are almost directly taken from the Common laws of England and the Magna Carta.
It is extremely grating, especially since your government seems hellbent on openly doing to you what other governments would never dare to be so open about.

No because we're not a completely backwards country who thinks school shootings/gun crime and the like is a small price to pay for pretending to be Rambo when going shopping.
"Current law makes it illegal to enter or remain in an area where certain government officials (more particularly, those with Secret Service protection) will be visiting temporarily if and only if the person knows it's illegal to enter the restricted area but does so anyway. [H.R. 347] expands current law to make it a crime to enter or remain in an area where an official is visiting even if the person does not know it's illegal to be in that area and has no reason to suspect it's illegal..

Last time I checked England lost their rights to "bear" arms. Look at the violent crime rate there now.... one of the highest in the world.

In the UK we have better ones as we automatically have the right unless it's explicitly removed. In the US you have to wait to be granted them or rely on a codified constitution which can't be updated to keep up with modern society or technology.edit on 11-3-2014 by bastion because: (no reason given)
No, you do not have rights you have privileges which is different. Rights are something not even the government itself can take away. In your country all you have to do is speak your mind and they will limit your freedoms pure and simple.

Oh, so you have a limited privilege for firearms. Some, but not others.
Do you want a cookie for that, or a parade?
