Actually, it is a common misperception. “Rights” are things the gummint has to act for you to exercise, like voting. “Liberties” are things you can exercise without gummmint assistance. Like speech and bearing arms. The gummint can decide to subsequently punish you for bearing arms or speech but they cannot stop you from doing so.

Sure. Madison was misinformed, and you've got it right.

Thanks for being my most uproarious laugh of the day.
