Actually neither is explicitly PROTECTED in the Constitution, nor is the Constitution the SOURCE of any rights, it simply protects rights that already exist by virtue of our humanity (or if you prefer endowed by the "creator").Both are constitutional rightsWhere did I ever say “no restrictions to voting”? Self defense is a natural RIGHT, voting isn’t. Heck if I had my way 3/4 of the people who vote now would NOT be allowed to vote, we have far too many uniformed, vote myself some freebies imbeciles casting ballots.Ok so no restrictions to guns but restrictions to voting... got it.I'm against them, individuals have the right to defend themselves and thus the right to procure the means to defend themselves without Government interference.Interesting... just curious to see where you stand on gun control laws.I’d rather we just remove the party labels from the ballot entirely, at least that will encourage the voters to do at least a little bit of homework before pulling the lever.With all this talk about our democracy being threatened I had an idea that would save it! We make the presidential term 6 years and then prevent the same political party from holding power in consecutive terms.
You’re welcome!
Once we have that in place we can move on to requiring a basic CIVICS test before being allowed to vote; if you think the three branches of the Federal Government are the Olive Branch, the Hickory Branch and the Money Tree Branch then you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
The right to self defense has implied Constitutional Protection via the 2nd Amendment.
Voting has no such protections because it can be TAKEN AWAY (e.g. if you're a felon) and you're not born with the explicit right to vote (hint: it's a PRIVILEDGE), government cannot REMOVE or ENDOW a right from/to a human being only SUPPRESS or PROTECT ones that already exist.
