Fundamental misunderstanding of what a right is. Rights are inherant and not dependent on the actions of another person.

Free speech is a right, freedom of religion, bearing arms for your own defense, these are rights that the government has no authority to interfere with. It is not a right if another person must be compelled to provide it.

Exactly. A college education, a job, and healthcare are also not rights.
