Why millions of Americans — including me — own the AR-15

163. Emphasis mine:

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

However, and IMNSHO, the RKBA is a human right, everywhere. Government permission is not required. It is as natural and innate as a right to life. Whatever tools one chooses as a means of self-defense are covered in that right. Anyone or any group or government that chooses to pretend otherwise is free to be wrong. Rights don't disappear because a person, group or government fails to respect them.

Just a pet peeve.
