I agree with Principal #3 & #4, just not their recommendations on how best to accomplish them.

1 Guns do not make us safer.
2 Gun violence in America is a pervasive public health crisis that demands substantial policy solutions and well-funded programs that effectively reduce gun violence.
3 Equitable and just enforcement of gun laws is paramount.
4 Everyone has the right to live free from violence.

Sorry, #4 isn’t a right. A goal, maybe, but not a right.

In reality, violence is a natural condition. While we have changed the world rather substantially with technology and constant effort as a society, it requires the willingness to use force to maintain it. While a gun is not natural, it’s also not the cause of violence, either.

A right is a natural condition that requires no intervention to exist. God given was the founder’s term that is no longer acceptable to the powers that be. Example, you have a right to defend yourself against violence- not a right to not have violence against yourself.

You have a right to pursue happiness, not be happy.

“I want” isn’t a right.

[Holland&Holland]

Unfortunately, the current folks in power do not believe you have any rights beyond what they bestow on you.

Unfortunately, the current folks in power do not believe you have any rights beyond what they bestow on you.

I think the proper sentence is:

Unfortunately, the current folks in power do not believe in rights, only permissions - which they bestow on you as they deem fit.

Well, they believe in one right: That of government handouts.
