The term “natural rights” in our present society has been taken way out of context And I’d like to know where he said that and in what context

1) the U.S. is a Union of States, not a monolithic “N”ation. 2) the States requested a BoR, which includes the 2A, to restrict only the federal; a fact known to anyone who’s read the ratifying debates. 3) nothing here suggests I don’t believe in Natural Rights. You lack logic.

If you claim States have Rights, which you did, then your position is that they exist by Right, and therefore possess authority by Right over the individual's they Govern. This is an athoritarian position that fails to reason where their authority is derived from.

It's common, as Henry described in 1788, to use the term State to refer to the citizens of a State. The States are sovereign, meaning the citizens of a State hold ultimate decision making power for their State. Thinking the fed is sovereign is authoritarian. You lack logic.

This claim is a red herring fallacy that fails to address your claim that States have Rights. In order for States to possess the Right to ban guns, as you stated, then they must possess an inherent authority over the people. You must reason where this authority is derived from.

The power to do injury to people's liberty comes from the force of government; a force that history has proven impervious to any philosophical argument. States are sovereign & the citizens of a State decide how they will manage it. The federal is just a creation of the States.
