Our right to bear arms is ours at birth as all our rights are

I will have to disagree one only has to look at Roe VS Wade. To see our constitution has been used to remove that right as well. While this is much to my dismay it would appear the only god-given right left is death. Even though there are many laws to try an prevent that right from being a choice. As I search to find truth it would appear the only absolute right the constitution grants us is the right to pay taxes. I do not believe that was the intent of the founders; but that does appear to be the facts.

That may be the case. Yet the government decides from that moment on.

Nemo is right and to attempt an Kill the messenger for telling you bad news. Is counter productive,having a false sense of security does not make you any safer.
I guess the right to live is guaranteed providing the host lets you live.
"The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. It’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic!" - Barack Hussein Obama

The death penalty allows forfeiture of that right by due process. A criminal can remove that right by their actions. The government can rule you a terrorist and avoid due process. War can remove it for duty. Accidents can remove it by chance. Disease can end it far to soon. If you avoid those listed above old age ends it for all. I am not trying to be combative. I am just trying to demonstrate why Nemo was correct.

I think this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt explains it well.
"A right is not something that somebody gives you; it is something that nobody can take away."
I never said that you would live forever. Life is still a God given right. However, it can be taken away in different ways as you mentioned.

...or something that nobody should take away, since apparently anything can be taken away.

That would seem to leave death and taxes as the last we have. I welcome anyone to inform me of others rights that I might actual want but I fear they no longer exist.
