A right isn't a right if you are only allowed to exercise it for approved reasons.

Prime example: the second amendment in New Jersey, New York and numerous other states. Permission from the almighty state required to exercise it. A right which can be denied is no right; it is a privilege.

Exactly. A right is not a right if others have veto power.
