For the same reason I want to pray
For the same reason I want to be able to say what I want wherever I want
For the same reason I want the authorities to have a warrant to search my property
I am afforded these things as a law-abiding American.
You, as a European, however......not so much
You are more than welcome to fly to Mexico and walk to America and become a citizen at any time your heart desires
Correction. People are not given rights as law-abiding Americans. Rights are inalienable. Nobody can give them or take them away. Others may have the power to violate one's rights, but one still possesses said rights.

You're confusing Liberty and Individual Rights with Anarchy.
Check your premises, bub.
No, what I am doing is reading what you wrote. "Rights are inalienable. Nobody can give them or take them away." So I ask again, does a convict sitting in a prison cell have the right to a gun? Does he have the right to liberty? Because if not, then you are agreeing those rights can be take away. So perhaps you need to check your premises.
