You believe that God came down and gave John Lee Malvo the right to own a gun, and the government cannot take that right away.
I disagree and say that government DOES give/deny us rights, even if we like to believe that they don't.
I have a right to free speech, but I cannot call the White House and say that I have planted a bomb in the Oval Office. I have a right to own a gun, but not if I get dishonerably discharged from the military. The list goes on - pick any so-called "right" and I can give you the limitations of that right... limitations set by the government. The SAME government that gives me those rights. Most people in England believe in the same God I do, yet they do not have the privilege of owning a gun. Why? Because their government does not allow them to.
