I hear what you’re saying and don’t disagree but my point is even if the government takes a natural right away on paper, we still have that natural right. It can’t be taken away.
Any government that does try to take away our rights is pretty much a dead government walking at that point. It’s just a matter of time before it collapses which might be the goal of these nasty ugly gun grabbers. This comes from the rat party, aka known as the heinous Marxist party which are well known for hating America and the freedom it stands for.
They would not like America if they get their wish. It will turn into a real version of a bad lawless Mad Max scenario where the weak die or are kept as slaves. All gun grabbers and most leftists are weak so they are guaranteed to die or lick the boots of their masters.
They really should be careful what they wish for.
The inner circle of elites is getting what they wish for.
That is a society where "where the weak die or are kept as slaves" as you say. The elites do not care if the result is a pile of burning rubble, as long as they rule over the pile.
Even worse, many of the elites have a death wish. The key factor is that they want to see the rest of us die first. There is not much room for "political compromise" in that direction.
They have lots of minions and supporters in the outer circles who do not understand what they are getting. And they do not want to understand. They want to believe the pretty lies. They are the ones who will be most unhappy with what they get. But they will still blame the rest of us for the results which they cause. They won't be persuaded otherwise.
I do believe the concept of natural rights has merit. Those rights are not entitlements. They must be asserted against those who would refuse to honor them. It is a "use it or lose it" condition.
Moral outrage over violation of rights is both necessary and insufficient to defend those rights. There are many intermediate steps in asserting a natural right. The last and ultimate step is use of force.
