Another way of framing the argument on gun rights

I was sent this from another board and I’ve never really thought about it in this way but it makes perfect sense. I’ll just leave this here for debate.


I'd like to point out a troubling, and overlooked, defect in the tenor of this discussion/poll: No one has the Constitutional Right to a public education but everyone has the Constitutional Right to bear arms. What is the legal basis to abridge a Constitutional Right for a mere tax payer funded service not derived from a Right? The First Amendment in contrast entails almost no limitation on speech, why the different treatment for arms? Would you be so eager to have your speech abridged? Both the 1st and 2nd Amendments protect us from tyrannical government and any restriction on these Rights limits our freedom and defense against a far more menacing threat. For those who want to minimize the likelihood that their children become victims of gun violence in school, enroll them in private school or home school them, because your desire for school safety is an inferior claim to a Constitutional Right.
