It sounds like you're saying that you don't think you have a right to defend yourself from an attacker.
In fact it never says natural right though you may assume constitutional right created by the government
So if you lived in 1700, you don't think your would have a right to defend yourself from an attacker?
And if you were a neolithic hunter-gatherer would you have a right to defend yourself from an attacker?
That's not what I asked. If you were a neolithic hunter-gatherer would feel that you have a right to defend yourself from an attacker?
So before the formation of our government, did man not have the unencubered ability to speak freely and worship as he wished, something endowed by nature?
He could speak as he chose ....unless his neighbor did not like it and told him to shut up or he would kill him. LOL
His neighbor was not the government that created a system to kill him. Our fathers saw government abuse of these natural abilities when across the pond and then created a document limiting government powers so these abuses would not happen in the new government. Our fathers deemed these abilities as natural rights. The concept of government afforded rights are known as human rights. There is a difference.
It’s not my opinion. It’s the opinion of the founders of the people who created the country. You are in the minority in your belief. Google natural vs human rights. I find no one that believes the same as you. There might be some leftist political extremismist somewhere on the internet that can make you feel justified, but I think it’s rare.
