    Belongs in another thread for debate, because there is nothing much "debatable" about the question asked or the actual answer to the question.
    GL001 and I are addressing one of the replies, which promotes illegal activity.

    Do ranges check ?
    The prohibited person cannot touch any firearm or ammo. Period. He cannot have control or custody.

    Generally...the edges of the law are not a good place to be, no matter how legal it may be.

    Or any other kind of instruction.

    inalienable rights or natural rights can never be taken or given away. they exist without any contract written or implied. government can either protect or deprive said rights. these rights exist for anyone past or present regardless of race, age, sex, color, creed, residence or place of birth. if someone commits a crime against written law then they can be found guilty and sent to prison. They do not lose any natural rights but they are deprived of exercising certain rights while incarcerated. by your logic our rights are granted by government and can be taken government which gives us no rights at all.

    exercising natural rights is "illegal activity".

    Going to someone else's gun range in violation of the law is not a "natural right".

    But if you want to hang your argument on Jefferson's words:

    In describing natural rights, Jefferson first writes that *all men are created equal.* This equality is not one of result, in which material benefits might be confiscated and redistributed, but one in which no individual enjoys any rights-based advantage over their neighbors due to heredity, and all are held equal before the law.
    Clearly Jefferson, and many other founding fathers did not actually believe this - as they owned slaves and baked legal slavery right into the constitution. Such people clearly viewed some people as NOT being equal and NOT having inalienable rights. There's no way around it.

    They were perfectly willing to trade this concept, and the "natural rights" of some people for the creation of the nation they wanted to created. Principles exercised only when convenient are not principles at all.

    Specifically, Jefferson describes the broad categories of natural rights as including *Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.*
    That's great - but he was perfectly willing to deprive a large swath of people of those rights - through no fault of those people - simply because it was to his benefit to do so.

    According to Jefferson*s model, there is no such thing as *women*s rights,* or *gay rights,* or *minority rights,* which can be granted, modified, or restricted based on nothing more than the political winds or desires of fluctuating majorities. There is only inherent human equality and the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness possessed by all regardless of particular circumstances.
    That clearly isn't true. He obviously did NOT believe this, for the reasons specified above.

    Overall, the credibility of Jefferson and his cohorts on the subject of "natural rights" is severely lacking.

    I agree rights are not issued by the government. However, I don't think hanging that argument on the words of men who failed to do the right thing at the right time, when they had the chance to do so, is a particularly convincing argument - the "they did the best they could" excuse not withstanding.

    Dunno if they are just giving you enough rope to hang yourself, or what, but back when the forum rules were enforced, you would have been banned - either for a week, or permanently - for suggesting illegal activity on the forum.

    There's how you think the world should be, and then there's the way it actually IS.

    Natural rights can be taken away or given away. Your highest natural right can be taken away with as little as a piece of rope.

    My logic nowhere near dictates that a government grants our rights. No right is absolute, not life, not speech, not to keep/bear arms.
