The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is an unalienable right...
Unalienable in that it is a right that is granted by an authority recognized in this country that is higher than any government instituted amoung men...
So, if God tells me to lay down my arms, I will do so, till then, I’ll cling to them and his word more than I will comply with instructions or immoral laws passed to completely remove that right from me or anyone else...

Someone who gets it. And may God grant you the long life you so richly deserve for as long as you defend that right so long as you live. There are so few true patriots left, the ones who understand that God, NOT society, grants us our rights, and that only the most extreme of circumstances warrant the abridging of a (wo)man’s God given rights. The right to bear arms is no less important than the right to life, because with the right to bear arms infringed upon, one’s right to live is seldom far behind.
Fight the good fight.
I don’t want to be a stickler, but Life, Liberty, and Property were the original unalienable rights.
Since people were property when they came up with that, the compromise became Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The first nine amendments spelled out specifically what the govenment could or could not do. The right to bear arms was specifically reserved to citizens, and on top of that was placed a further admonishment that the right shall not be infringed upon.
Today, there are no inalienable rights, and the right to bear arms was one of the more ‘alienable’ of those rights.
Due to some ‘penumbras and emanations’ abortion is a constitutional right. How that comports with ‘Life’ being inalienable, is an open question. I know that both the death penalty and abortion are defended in a similar fashion - ‘we aren’t depriving a citizen of their right to life, since the people being executed aren’t citizens (yet, or any more)’.
Fact is, if ‘Life’ is an unalienable right, you can’t defend either abortion or the death penalty. My personal hypocrisy stops at the death penalty. I’m for it. As for abotion, there’s no defending it in my opinion.
In cases of rape or incest, I err on the side of defending the liberty of the victim. I can’t imagine being forced to give birth to the spawn of my rapist. I don’t think there’s a right legal or moral answer to that question.
