2nd Amendment,right or privilege?

[stanc]

Thread title: Amendment,right or privilege.

The sheep analogy shows why we have the God-given right to self defense...

The sheep analogy does not address the question that the OP asked, and wanted discussed: "If your right to bear arms can be restricted by past offenses, dishonorable discharge from the armed forces or the use of state-approved medical marijuana, is this truly a universal right?"

And the idea that we have "God-given rights" is unsubstantiated belief, not proven fact.

Fact: Regardless of what some believe to be the origin of individual "rights," it is government that determines and defines our Constitutional rights, legal rights, and legal privileges.
