And what about abortion too. Those poor little fellas didn't even do anything wrong.

A fetus has no rights under US law. A fetus had no rights under biblical law. The Framers did not enumerate any rights for a fetus and abortion was permitted under the law at the time.

We do have "inalienable" rights. They can't be taken away without cause.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

The distinction you are missing is that rights can be taken away to protect the public.

That just sends chills down my Constitutional spine. But if you want to believe that, then we can take away guns to protect the public.

If you just "think" you are threatened, but cannot convince the jurors of that, you will go to jail for manslaughter or murder.

We're living in different countries. Here in the US the prosecution has to prove a crime has been committed. In your country the defendent has to prove he's innocent. I like our system better.

"I'm not sure what happens to the poor atheists here"

You have rights too. Point being about the creator is not who the creator is. It is that rights are not given by humans.


I'm not an atheist. Atheist don't believe there was a creator, hence they don't believe the Creator endowed them with anything.

Why would one feel that other humans are so superior that they should tell them what their rights are.

I suspect it has more to do with there's not a lot of people who have one-on-ones with God. It also has to do with the inconsistencies between religions as to exactly what God said. We would be able to do away with that if everyone belonged to the only true Church, which as we all know is the Roman Catholic Church. [Which is clear as day for those that have read the New Testament.]

In the highly unliley event that someone dies by my gun, it will be his fault.

That's good enough for me.
