You consider this drivel? This is fundamental to the underpinnings of our Republic. I am guessing that in good FR tradition you did not read the piece.
“Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, the right to self-defense — these rights and other natural liberties do not come into existence because of majority rule. Our natural rights exist despite majority rule. As the Founding Fathers articulated in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” We aren’t equal because of democracy; we are equal despite any democratic vote that might claim otherwise. Our lives, personal liberties, and connections to God exist because of His will, not the government’s.”
Claiming a right exists is as consequential as reciting a Harry Potter spell. It is of absolutely no consequence on it’s own.
As a 3rd world leftist is electing rulers to pass laws to take your guns, throw you in jail for thought crimes and redistribute your money to brown people....what you need to do is take your pocket constitution out, hold it in front of you like a magic wand and recite the magic words “Shall not be infringed”....
I’m sure they will leave you alone and respect your rights.
