"The government doesn't give us the right to carry in church..."
The government isn't the proprietor of the right, the individual citizen is, therefore the government can't 'give' us something to which it has no claim. What it can (and must) do is to respect our liberty and honor the Constitution that protects it.
The notion that the right didn't exist before the government 'granted' it is nonsense.
The default in this country is individual liberty. Liberty is not a benefit dispensed by government. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
