The BoR only enumerates Rights granted by GOD to all of mankind. The differentiation lies, for instance, in the Second Amendment. Only AMERICANS enjoy the RKBA legally! Dissenters must cite the document, of equivalent weight as the BoR, granting legal RKBA to any other nation. The only Rights we enjoy are the Rights we defend from abrogation by the government.

The terrorists likely exercised their First Amendment Right to political expression when they wrapped them selves in the American Flag. American flag wavers merely confuse the issue about patriotism. Exercise your uniquely American LEGAL RKBA!

The Bill of Rights says nothing about the rights being granted by God.

dhuffman said it well:

"The BoR only enumerates Rights granted by GOD to all of mankind."

artios went into a bit more detail:

"It conferes no rights to any person or group, but states that the governments purpose to to protect or God given rights."

Bottom line:
My rights are not given to me by the government of the place where I live.
They are inherently mine from the day that I was born.
Someone may attempt to take them away from me (as happens in most countries),
but here, a person's G*d-given rights are (supposed) to be recognized -not granted- by our government.
Those G*d-given rights are the same for everyone.
If a person is in this country -no matter what his nationality- our government should recongnize those rights.
(The reason that religion is under attack should be obvious when the concept of individual rights is considered.)
The documents that define our government are supposed to be for limiting government, not granting individual rights.
Our founding fathers were not that arrogant.

I believe that you mis-understand the concept of a right, dhuffman@awod.com.

You said,
"Only AMERICANS enjoy the Right to Keep and Bare Arms legally!"
"Dissenters must cite the document, of equivalent weight as the Bill of Rights..."
"The terrorists likely exercised their First Amendment Right to political expression..."

1) If there were not a Bill of Rights, I would still have rights.

2) If I weren't an American, I would still have rights.

3) If there were laws against rights, I would still have rights.

4) Whether American or not,
NOBODY has the "right to lethal political expression"

5) People who believe in a "right to lethal political expression,"
whether individual or government,
are a major reason that others realized
that they needed to protect themselves.
