It’s your position that no man can be deprived of any right, at any time, for any offense, because rights are unalieanable?

Yes or No?

To: SampleMan; William Tell
Merriam-Webster Dictionary

un·alien·able
adjective \ˌən-ˈāl-yə-nə-bəl, -ˈā-lē-ə-\

: impossible to take away or give up

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

We allow a Government to abrogate these Rights at gunpoint, by consent.

That doesn't mean that we FORFEIT the Rights, dimbulb.
