      But that is exactly what rights are. Given to people by government and they can be taken away.

        You are mistaken, that is not what rights are or what the constitution says (“God-given, inalienable rights”).

        If you let the government take them, that’s on you, but I guess it depends on how far the individual is willing to go in order to protect said rights.

        If the government does something that is contrary to your rights, that’s them violating the rights, but they do not have the ability to rob you of your free will: You choose your actions, words, and what you are or are not willing to risk sacrificing to foil attempts to curtail those rights.

      HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

      GTFO with that religious bullshit.

      “rights” are an imaginary vapid concept invented by hairless apes. and if you want to maintain your “rights” then you better get the fuck up and do something about it before the powers that be strip them all away.
