That by definition means that under the constitution, they are NOT inalienable.

Locke argued that you can temporarily or permanently forfeit a right based on your behavior. You can forfeit your right to life by murdering someone. You can temporarily forfeit your right to own a gun by commiting a violent crime and thus being sent to prison. Oh wait, sorry, you don't believe that people have rights. You believe we are subject to the will of the state.

That's such a messy idea that gets in the way of regulating the hell out of peoples' behavior.

You appear to be arguing with yourself.
