You do NOT have a "god-given" right to own a gun, speak
without regulation, etc.----nowhere in the constitution
does it say you have those unrestricted "rights" of
guns and speech.

No right is "unrestricted"; but that is the crux of the matter.



We limit speech by law

Only if it harms another.



We limit gun loons by law

Usually unconsitutionally



You're free to whine and cry and try to insist that
they are "unlimited"

Someone has claimed they are unlimited??



and "inalienable"

Actually, the Founding Fathers were the ones who "whined" about those
rights being inalienable.

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.



But it just ain't so.

Because you say so?
