>>Exactly correct. Rights are dependent on how well you can defend your rights. Which equals how well you know your rights, and how well you can argue your rights. If you have resources (mental or financial) you'll be treated fairly.

>Then clearly by definition all men are not equal in the eyes of the law, are they?? If you have no money or are less capable you are not equal to rich and intelligent. And even then you may not be treated fairly if you are up against richer and/or even more financially or politically powerful agents.

And, apparently, you can protect your rights faster and better with the gun. :)
