Agree.
However it comes with a caveat. No right, no matter how inalienable, can be exercised absent the duty to exercise it responsibly. The right of free speech does not give one the right to yell "fire!" in a crowded theater, for example. I agree that the right to keep and bear arms is inalienable, however if I start shooting rounds into the air, even in my own front yard, I have no reason NOT to expect that a deputy or five would not show up within a matter of minutes to explain to me the error of my ways.
It is not unreasonable to expect that someone exercising their right to keep and bear arms both know how to use their firearm in a safe and responsible manner, as well as to have a knowledge of the laws pertaining to its use.
