I don't think they can be regulated. By definition they are inalienable rights. If you fail to comply with a "regulation" you lose the right? It was never "inalienable" in the first place then.

Oh, they're regulated: they always have been, they always will be. I agree with you in the beautifully pristine world of theory, but in the real world, absolutes like "inalienable" rarely make sense.
