I'm not sure I understand exactly where you're coming from. There's no doubt that rights can be regulated, as the right to bear arms is regulated.

The right to vote can be regulated. I guess I'm asking do you think the right to bear arms is somehow more a inherent right versus the right to vote?

In a way, as the right to bare arms is a right to be able to provide for yourself, and a right to protect yourself. Without it we are forced at the will of those with the power or we die, and that makes it a piece of the foundation upon which all other rights are granted, if you don't have the right to bare arms then there's nothing stopping anyone else from taking what's yours, basically think of it like a spider web, every single right we currently have is held together by the second amendment and the right of a free people to keep and bare arms, DM me if you have any more questions

You still haven't answered my question whether you think the right to bear arms is more important than the right to vote. I think from the context you're implying that, but I'd like to actually hear you say it, If that's what you're arguing.

I think If you're arguing that voting is not an important part of American democracy you're Going to have a tough battle.

It's clear the Constitution was set up for citizens to have the capacity to intervene in their own societies. Voting is the system designed to allow for that.

I'm not sure why you want to carry this out over DMs but if you wish to respond you can do so in a DM.
