You (and i) do not have any rights,
"No private person has a right to complain by suit in court on the ground of a breach of the United States constitution; for, though the constitution is a compact, he is not a party to it."
(Padelford Fay & Co. v The Mayor and Alderman of the City of Savannah 14 Georgia 438, 520)
America was the first to grant people rights based on rights being from God.
Every place else, including the UN, the rights are granted from the govern-cement.
But, is that better or worse?
In medieval times, the night could kill any peasant he came across, the only catch was that he may have to defend his actions to the king.
Sneeze on the samurai, become a cutting practice dummy.
What gives us rights? Our own inherent being.
What allows us to keep our rights? Self Defense.
Everyone should have a gun.
