I am very well aware of the natural rights theory developed during the age of enlightenment.
We have given up our natural right to kill another person. I am suggesting we should give up our natrual right to bear arms.
The idea with natural rights has always been that we have unlimited rights (and actually enumerating them can be problematic) but we give some up to live in a society where we can pursue life liberty and happiness.
I am saying Americans via their representatives should give up their right to bear arms, remove it from being enumerated, and then allow strong legislation that outlaws weapons just like we have done with murder. If an amendment is needed then so be it "Congress HAS the right to strictly control guns in order to protect life".
Does that make sense?
