What considerations? A right is a right! If you have to “consider” whether you can exercise it or not, then it isn’t a right, but something else, such as a privilege.

I’m very disappointed that people need to be reminded of this basic stuff on a conservative site. Maybe it’s time to start posting some refresher topics with quotes from Locke, Hobbes, and the rest of the gang.

If they will ignore the clear words of the Declaration of Independence, it won't do any good to quote natural law philosophers either.
