God help you if you don't know the difference between a right as defined in the Constution and a law. I don't derive my rights from the government. My right to life and self-defense predate the Constitution.

Sure, I agree with you there. But this isn't about your rights, this is about a law (the Constitution) and what it applies to and how it is interpreted. IE - we have a government that rules by written laws and not what one person happens to think at any given moment.
