    The worst part about this dumb ass talking point is that it implies that the Supreme Court is the source of our inalienable rights

      By talking point, you mean how the US constitution was written and the whole point of the supreme court?

      Edit: Until congress does their job and pass legislation on these matters, this is unfortunately how the cookie crumbles.

          They’re only declared inherent human rights on the very same sheet of paper that defines the rights and codifies them into law. Without the government backing them, they don’t mean anything and are just words written on a piece of paper.

          I agree in principle, but not in totality (largely due to bad faith arguements). Everyone should have the right to privacy and basic essentials, to carry a glock around wherever not so much.
