Gun ownership isn't a right. Yeah there's a piece of paper that says it is, but come on. It's dumb.
How on earth do you even find these things comparable? On one side, people literally dying because they can't afford insulin , on the other side someone wringing their hands because they think the government might forbid them from owning an AR-15.
- sparkie 6y agoGun ownership is a natural right. You simply do not grasp the meaning of the word "right". It isn't what is in the constitution - that document simply puts a restraint on the US Government from taking away those natural rights. Healthcare is not a right. There is no "right" where others actions are required. Such thing cannot possibly be a "right" because it puts an obligation on another person to perform some action - hence, stripping that other person of their natural right to be sovereign over their own body. A right is not something that can be granted - it simply exists. A right can only be taken away, through violence or the threat of violence. I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't have access to affordable healthcare. I'm merely stating the fact that it is not a right.
