I still think it’s backwards that mass shooters owning assault weapons is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

@Strandjunker Nobody is saying the government should buy the mass shooter an assault weapon.

Rights in the American sense are negative - things that society cannot do to you. Taking away your assault weapon was included in that list, because the British tried to do just that and it kicked off the American Revolution.

Yes there should be subsidized health care for the poor, but that is not a "right" in the constitutional sense.

@mike805 @Strandjunker You’re saying they cannot arrest you for speaking your opinions out loud? The right to free speech. Gone.
@MrInappropriate @Strandjunker In the UK the right of free speech is definitely gone. In the USA that dispute is not yet settled.
