How strange you cite Williams on smoking rights, but ignore him on our individual rights herein:
Bogus rights

Walter Williams wrote:
"--- we have to decide what is a right.
The way our Constitution's framers used the term, a right is something that exists simultaneously among people and imposes no obligation on another.
For example, the right to free speech, or freedom to travel, is something we all simultaneously possess. My right to free speech or freedom to travel imposes no obligation upon another except that of non-interference.
In other words, my exercising my right to speech or travel requires absolutely nothing from you and in no way diminishes any of your rights. --"

In other words, my right to carry a gun in my car imposes no obligation upon another except that of non-interference; -- it requires absolutely nothing from you and in no way diminishes any of your rights.
Thus, you have no natural right to insist that I have no gun in my car; -- nor do our governments have the power to help you prohibit guns from your parking lot
I posted exactly what Walter Williams thinks about property rights,
Go on and keep your head safely tucked in the sand.
"Private property rights are the bulwark for liberty, and should be jealously guarded and not be sacrificed for the sake of expediency." -- Walter Williams
"Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty. The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of G-d, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence." -- John Adams
"The right of property is the guardian of every other right, and to deprive the people of this, is in fact to deprive them of their liberty." - Arthur Lee
