You keep using the term inalienable like you really really want it to be true when it's not.
That right was given to us by men.
So our RIGHTS come from each other?
Is that what your saying?
Because they don't.
Some do. Yes
Some, like the right to bear arms was given to us by other men.
Are you saying that's not true?

No it GD wasn't.
They put ink to pen to preserve that OTHER men not take it.
It is not an inalienable right no matter how many times you say otherwise.
Natural and legal rights are two types of rights. Natural rights are those that are not dependent on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government, and so are universal and inalienable (they cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws). Legal rights are those bestowed onto a person by a given legal system (they can be modified, repealed, and restrained by human laws).

Except it is interpreted all the time in law. Just cause you want it to be a certain way does not mean it is.
And it does not specify. So for the sake of this thread if semi autos were banned and could not be had you still have plenty you can get your hands on so you still can have guns and be in the militia and defend yourself.
So again. How is banning some stopping you from bearing arms?
Fact is it does not say any and all.
Do you think a person should be able to own any and all types of arms?

I don't see how banning certain guns means people can't own guns anymore.
Makes no sense to me.
Things can, do, and should change to keep up with the world we live in.
We live in a completely different society than back then. Millions more people. Tons of other cultures. Far different weapons than those days and far fewer militias.
