"With regard to the right to bear arms, the Second Amendment could, at least in theory, be abolished. On the contrary, prior to lawfully suspending the right to produce income to survive, the government would have to first repeal the 'Laws of Nature and of Nature's God.'"
The right of survival pursuant to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." isn't limited to "the right to produce income to survive." Working to provide sustenance for survival is not a superior right to self-defense (i.e. to bear arms), they are two of several in the first tier of natural righs, and as the Court said in U.S. v. Cruikshank, the right to arms is not dependent upon the Second Amendment for its existence. |
