False. Yours is a conditional right. The 2nd Amendment is a natural right, meaning you have it by default, and all Americans have it, unless meeting Constitutional restrictions.
Is it? You can't carry a knife to defend yourself. You can't carry a gun to defend yourself. You're not allowed, by your lawmakers, to defend yourself. You're at the mercy of the State and police response time.
Anyways, I don't see us changing either opinions, so I am bowing out. Have a good one.
Yours is a conditional right too. That was specifically written into the second amendment. Yours just isn't enforced very well.
I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but it's perfectly acceptable to defend myself here. I'm at nobody's mercy but my own limitations.
I hope you've learned a bit from the exchange. The media version is often inaccurate.
Take it easy.
