My understanding is that the constitution prohibits the government from taking away these rights. The government does not grant rights. But what's the difference? That's not what's at issue here.

My point was that the poster was blaming law abiding people who have every right to carry a gun for not having their act together and that because they don't have their act together, the government will some day take that right away.

I think that the "concealed carry people" have their act together and most of them would not want to shoot anyone.

Where the right comes from is a completely different discussion. You can believe that the government gives you rights if you want.
