That's not the meaning of the analogy.
A Constitutional right or law prevents the state from harming you in exactly the same way a gun free zone sign stops a school shooter from murdering you.

From the responses it seems they were trying to make a more nuanced point, so I've vouched it. In general, it's not a good idea to try and make a nuanced political point with something short and pithy. People invariably project the worst interpretation onto it. You need to spell out what you mean.
