Where do your "fundamental rights" come from? Brought down on stone tablets? I mean, I like individual freedoms as much as the next person, but you can't just slap "fundamental" in front of something and then declare the debate over. The other side can just reply that societies have a fundamental right to protect themselves from societal harms at the expense of individuals.
People disagree about what rights people have and what rights governments have. Simply prefixing the word rights with a phrase like "innate," "fundamental," or "inalienable" to make it seem beyond debate is just sophistry.
