This is a comment from IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO DISARM YOU, THAT MEANS THEY CONSIDER YOU AN ENEMY:
All our rights listed in the Declaration of Independence are surely ABSOLUTE!! Don’t let the Left and the currently sitting in the White House snow you. I smell Obama here.
The Bill of Rights lists our rights under the Republic. The article refers to the 2nd Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
We have no rights. The reason is simple: the Republic has fallen and the Constitutional compact is not valid. Be assured that these traitors will come for your firearms as they have no choice in order to secure their power and subjugate the people.
But all of the above is just talking points. The truth is that God has given us our natural laws:
But Aquinas is also a natural law legal theorist. On his view, a human law (that is, that which is promulgated by human beings) is valid only insofar as its content conforms to the content of the natural law; as Aquinas puts the point: “[E]very human law has just so much of the nature of law as is derived from the law of nature. But if in any point it deflects from the law of nature, it is no longer a law but a perversion of law” (ST I-II, Q.95, A.II). To paraphrase Augustine’s famous remark, an unjust law is really no law at all.
The idea that a norm that does not conform to the natural law cannot be legally valid is the defining thesis of conceptual naturalism. As William Blackstone describes the thesis, “This law of nature, being co-eval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original” (1979, 41). In this passage, Blackstone articulates the two claims that constitute the theoretical core of conceptual naturalism: 1) there can be no legally valid standards that conflict with the natural law; and 2) all valid laws derive what force and authority they have from the natural law.
We can argue about the 2nd Amendment, the rights declared under the fallen Constitution or when the “government” will come for our firearms and then our very lives. The real debate is where our rights come from. God above has given us the right to defend ourselves and our families. Do you really care what a group of traitors in Washington, D.C. dictate?

Update:
Fran’s assessment
God gave me my rights. It is my job to defend and uphold them. There is NO wiggle room on this issue.
Absolutely, I do not look to man or governments for my natural rights, God’s law is my ultimate law in everything.
Just remember, if our rights are removed, so are our restraints…..
Rights are not removed or taken. They are given away.
There has been enough crimes committed by the government, to have voided the agreement. That should have been obvious since 1861.
Understood, but the response is if the political whores believe they can regulate, restrict, remove our rights then we then have the authority to regulate, restrict and remove their rights. Me personally, I’d go for their children first..
I care less what they say.
That people expected to be able to have and keep their guns with the youth not being taught their form of government (for decades) is crazy, and one of the reasons patriots and militia people brought this fight on themselves (meaning they’ll be the ones largely doing the physical fighting, as they’re primarily the ones among the populace with guns, and that understand gun rights. Much of the population has already been mentally disarmed, as well as emotionally diminished, and rendered spiritually dull by public and private school alike, along with the workplace environment, the church system, and essentially all other institutions.
I believe it was a fedgov judge in Virginia, several years ago, used that same phrasing to rule against a pro-2A plaintiff “….the 2nd Amendment is not absolute.” Just a domestic communist talking point used to invalidate pro-2A sentiments.
The usurper biden is being handed his talking points daily. No surprise he complies with his master(s).
Clueless Biden used a quote by Scalia on the 2nd Amendment except, as usual, he got it wrong. Scalia on the Second Amendment, Scalia did not refer to the rights “granted” by the Second Amendment; rather, he referred to “the right secured by the Second Amendment….”
Idiot Biden got it wrong on purpose.
They’re not after YOUR guns. They’re not going to Boot Stomp your door in and take them. Sure, they’ll make an example out of some of you, like J6, to put fear in your hearts, to make you cower. What they are really after, are the majority minds of your posterity.
Just a reminder that your toleration is what got us to where we are. Imagine what your toleration will bring for your posterity.
Tolerance: acquiescence, resignation, passiveness, passivity, amenability, compliance, conformism, docility, obedience, subordination, tractability, willingness.
Jack-Boots: “Let them talk. It’s all they ever do. What are they going to do… vote harder?”
HITF do you think we got to where we are today?
An example of your righteous… tolerance:
And everyone will tolerate it, as long as it’s not them.

The current crop of Despots in DC cannot even understand plain written words as in the 2nd Amendment. So to expect these Senatorial Dunces to understand the 9th and 10th Amendments as well is beyond any expectations.
Then there is the matter of the Inherent Rights of Mankind. That all people Have the Inherent Right of Self Defense will have to be taught to these numbskulls again. The Defense of Self by Self to further define it, and it is not taught in schools or practiced by lawyers in courtrooms.
Natural Law is most often proven in practice, rather than debate.
Excellent reference Gen. Early ! Loads of quotes pertinent to our current situation .
It’s NOT Obama behind any of this. He’s just as big a puppet as Pedo Joe…albeit a bit more coherent. The people behind EVERYTHING happening are NOT elected, NOT accountable to voters and for the most part NOT KNOWN BY NAME!
I can not help but question how one group talks rights removal ” under the Constitution- no matter who interprets the Constitution but other groups don’t question the coup and whether the aforementioned group has any rights to take away rights……. whew.
They tore it all down huh
