And the right to pursue and own earned property and the right of self defence isnt a civil right? It seems that the ACLU are the picky ones. Key Issues | American Civil Liberties Union
This is what I love about these arguments. Tinfoil hatter nonsense aside, they fail based on their false premises.
Please show us where we are guaranteed the right to own anything. Property which we happen to own cannot be taken from us by the government without due process of law, that is a limitation on government power. But there is no guaranteed right to own anything.
As for pursuing property, you may do so to your heart's content. Whether you catch it is entirely up to how fast you can run in relation to whatever it is you're chasing. A society where you are guaranteed your chase will end in property ownership is called something much, much different than capitalism.
And did it ever occur to you that self-defense, being codified in all 50 States and on the Federal level, may be a goal that has been reached and therefore is no longer a priority? Of course not. That wouldn't demonize the people you despise.
Proof once again that base hatred knows no facts nor logic, eh?Goildkatt I am deeply disappointedPlease show us where we are guaranteed the right to own anything.
The second amendment guarantee's us the right to keep and bear arms. Wouldn't a gun be proprety?
Sure, and if you are able to purchase one you have the right to keep it and bear it. What Publius here confuses is the right to keep and bear what you may happen to have the ability to own and choose to own with the right of every individual to in fact own a gun.
They are two very, very different things.
