Your God given rights to be armed does not extend to my property!


Can you refuse to serve a black man if you own a restaurant?

Why or why not?

Can you refuse to rent a house to a Hispanic couple?
Why or why not?

Can you refuse to hire a Jew or a Christian?
Why or why not?

We know the bill of right s doesn't grant us any rights, but it would seem that some of the inalienable rights were so important that the founders went ahead and listed them.

Rights are just that ... rights ... not privileges, not "sometimes can dos" ... it's like breathing, it comes as a part of the life experience, you carry rights with you where ever you go.
Rights cannot be taken or given ... they may be exercised or not exercised, but they are always there.

If you would, please explain to me where you get the right to limit my right to protect myself, or my right to speak freely or my right to serve the creator as I see fit.

You obviously didn't read my post correctly. The point you missed is that on my private property, whereas the property is my home, I can discriminate on any basis I wish, including religion, race, and gender. The point being the sovereignty of the home allows me to remove anyone from my property I see fit. The presumed right that the "gun slinger" has some mysterious right to be armed on private property and against the wishes of the property owner is alot of cheese!
