Self defense is a fundamental right. Given to all by their first breathe. The right to god damn breathe is being questioned.?
As the election of 2008 proved, millions, in fact, the majority of those that voted, said, via their votes, that they wished to be wholly owned property of the Government. They demanded to be allowed to sell their God ordained right to freedom and responsibility for 30 pieces of Federal gold. Their souls? They gave them away long ago. If they still had a soul, they would desire to be free.
“Self defense is a fundamental right”
Even anti-gun liberal columnist Carl Rowan found a need to claim this right:
Trial Opens for Rowan in Shooting of Trespasser
By WILLIAM K. STEVENS, Special to the New York Times
Published: September 27, 1988
Carl T. Rowan, the columnist and outspoken advocate of gun control, went on trial here today for possessing the unregistered pistol with which he shot a teen-age intruder at his home June 14. ...
The 63-year-old Mr. Rowan, who has said that his life had been threatened in the past, has also said that he was confronted by Mr. Smith. He said that he warned the youth that he had a gun, but that the youth lunged at him. He fired what he said was a warning shot, which struck Mr. Smith in the wrist.

The elimination that particular right, as what we understand to be a "right" (God given and unalienable), is the ultimate objective. Examine their chosen list of "causes". Abortion (too many people taking breath), AGW (too much exhaling of CO2), Political Correctness (too much thinking the wrong thoughts and breathing the wrong words). If they believed they could do it without risk to their own precious hides they'd murder us all. As an intermediate step they want it to be mandated that in the face of their aggression we must retreat and cower.
