    I'd like to ask my friends to please consider avoiding the term "2nd Amendment Rights" as we have our now monthly arguments about gun control.

    That term implies that the federal government granted you the right to bear arms. It didn't. The right to bear arms is a natural property right, granted you by your humanity, and is inalienable.

    The 2nd Amendment merely prevents the federal government from infringing on rights you already have.

    It actually matters, because when you concede, even unintentionally, that the government granted your rights, you set up the argument that rights which are granted by government can be rescinded by government.

    Thanks in advance for not teeing up that argument. -- Andrew Avery
