What Do the Gun-Rights Advocates Mean by "Right?"

Posted on the 16 December 2013 by Mikeb302000
The "right" these gun nuts keep talking about is this:
right to life
right to self defense (to protect life)
right to own a particular inanimate object called a gun
This bizarre and wild jump from the second proposition to the third is what they refer to as "the right."  It's total made-up bullshit.  Furthermore the 2nd amendment had nothing to do with it.  They hijacked the amendment for their crazy argument and repeated it a million times until it took on a life of its own. But, it just ain't so. There is no "right" to own guns.
