Sure. “If you don’t like the Bill of Rights, GTFO.”
They should try one of those nice moslem countries.
There’s something wrong with a government that wants to disarm its citizens. It begs the question “why?”
Plenty of other countries you can move too ...
LIFE is a right and so is your
ability to protect it with a
firearm.
Maybe all guns should be taken
away,they say?Fine,the Hollywood
celebs and politicians pushing
for gun control should set an
example and disarm their bodyguards.
Easy
Part of life liberty and happiness is being free.
Healthcare is a dependent right based upon the others
The right to bare arms protects the most basic rights of Life Liberty and Happiness.
Healthcare can be seen as a part of those three.
The problem with the left is that the health care they provide is really no better than what is given at a county hospital for indigents. I know this is true. I have used the British NHS and the Hong Kong clone of the NHS. In fact when my oldest daughter broke her arm in Houston the county hospital in Harris County provided better care than the British NHS.
Thus, the US has healthcare comparable to the socialized systems in Europe it is just those systems are run by California, Texas, New York or Kansas.
Socialized healthcare turns populations into slaves.
Healthcare isn’t a privilege. It’s a combination of services and commodities. In other words, if you want some, you need to earn the money to pay for it.
There is something wrong with people who want to take peoples guns and steal their stuff.
When governments do this, it is called tyranny.
“Well, Cuba is where you should live then. You can get a direct flight now.”
Nobody forces you to buy a gun if you don’t want one. And nobody forces you to buy someone else a gun. Unlike with health care.
How about this:
There is something wrong with countries that want to disarm you and take your stuff.
Two words: Banana Republic
False argument.
Firearm ownership is a right, but the firearms themselves are not a right. I still have to come up with the cash to purchase the quality and quantity of firearms that I want.
Healthcare is not a privilege. I don’t need any special permission from the government to see a doctor. I am free (at least before Obama’s death panels are in place) to purchase the quality and quantity of healthcare that I want.
When you stand before a death panel, you will realize that healthcare is indeed a privilege granted by the government.
“Meme” hahah. Buzzword of the year!
You have the right to defend yourself but the govt is not required to purchase a gun for you.
You have the right to free speech but the govt is not required to buy you a microphone or publish your speech.
You have the right to healthcare but the govt should not be required to purchase it for you.
There is something wrong with a person who thinks that others should be forced to provide their health care, and that people should not be able to protect themselves.
Your rights do not confer upon me an obligation to supply you with anything.
When you say that you have a right to healthcare you are saying that Government has an obligation to supply you with healthcare. In essence you are saying other citizens must supply you with healthcare because the government has no resources of its own. Government can not give you something unless it takes it from someone else.
Rights are in the US are freedoms from oppression by the government and are not guarantees of resources to be supplied by the government.
The right to own and carry a firearm is the natural extension of the right to live and the right to defend your own life from those that would unjustly take it. A firearm permits a weak man or woman to defend themselves against a strong man or several strong men. The right to do this is an obvious and natural fact.
To say that we do not have the right to defend our own lives is to say that we do not have a right to our lives. This is obviously false. So to say that we do not have the right to defend our lives with the most obviously efficient and effective weapon available is also obviously false. What other means is there available for a 90 pound woman to defend herself against a 240 pound man?
Many on the Left would like to have all kinds of rights: the right to be free from hunger, the right to free healthcare, the right to a free education and so on.
All of these rights are things that they want the government to supply to them for FREE.
All of these free things are anything but free. All of these things cost money that would have to be provided by imposing crushing taxes on the citizens of the nation. Besides imposing taxes, the people who provide these services would eventually see their wages cut because the government could only raise taxes so much before the political backlash became so great that the cost of the programs would have to be reduced. The obvious solution would be to cut wages.
Socialist utopias must eventually fail because desires of the people are never satisfied and the resources that can be taken by government are always limited. (Someday you will run out of other people’s money)
