Understanding Where Your Gun Rights Come From…. There can be no doubt that our gun rights are currently under the most severe assault ever. We all know that if gun rights are eliminated or reduced, then that can also spell the end of any other rights that you might think you have. Aside from gnashing your teeth a fair bit, what can you do to help protect your gun rights, and therefore, the right of "a body of citizenry capable of bearing arms" to even exist? One of the most basic, critical flaws behind any discussion put forth by those who refuse to acknowledge your rights is the failure to grasp where our rights come from. Most people argue against your right to bear arms from the viewpoint that since such a right has been granted by the state, then such a right can be withdrawn or reduced by the state. This is the argument of statists all the time, regarding anything. They hold that all power rests with the state, and all rights are granted only by the good will and authority of the state. They could not be any more wrong. So, the first step in educating someone about your rights is to clear up that misconception. Your rights, my rights, any rights are not the products of a merciful government, to be parceled out like candy. Rights, real, actual rights, exist above and beyond any government or document. Rights do not require supporting evidence or documentation. Rights are obvious, to all but the most dim-witted of morons. Rights are not subject to the herd mentality of the majority, the will of the Attorney General, or public opinion polls, either…. You could say that we’re "...endowed with certain inalienable rights…", but you might be called an extremist for that. Really…
