I have a few stoner friends who actually believe that marijuana is a right, but gun ownership should be a privilege. If you ask them why they feel that way, they just give you a vague response “weed just makes you watch TV and chill, guns are a means to kill efficiently”.
All the while they complain about the government and how failure to recognize weed as a right is oppressive.
They claim guns are dangerous, but weed isn’t, but how safe is it really for them to go out to their dealer’s apartment complex and buying a bag of marijuana that hasn’t been properly vetted for extra substances? It’s funny how they tell me that guns are dangerous, but they have no problems meeting up with a stranger to satisfy their high.
I don’t mean to sound like I’m trying to sound “holier than thou” talking about my friends like this, but if we truly want to live in a free country, we need to acknowledge that both should be a right.
It would be peak freedom being able to buy a doobie and an Uzi in the same damn store.

The phrase “endowed by their creator” worked perfectly fine for the Declaration of Independence. Be that creator God, Flying Spaghetti Monster, or just the universe vibrating them into existence, it doesn’t belittle the fact that there was a moment at which one was created. In that moment, they were guaranteed their life, the right to pursue their own happinesses, and the means to preserve both.
Trying to argue the semantics of OP’s word choice does nothing to progress the right to keep and bear arms and serves to divide us as a community during a time in which we need to stand united regardless of our differences.
