So the right to a gun is a privilege granted by the state to its citizens?
No the right to keep and bear arms is a right granted by the U.S. Constitution to the citizens of the United States.
The U.S. Constitution is the Supreme law of the land and it applies to American citizens here in America. It does not apply in any other country and therefore should not apply to any non citizen in this country. But that is just my opinion.
Look at Mexico for example, if a person here, even a legal citizen commits murder and runs to Mexico, the Mexican government will not even extradite the individual unless the U.S. Government promises that the individual will not face the death penalty.
Now, if that is the case then the Mexican Government should take full responsibility for that individual from that point on. That individual should lose all citizenship in the U.S.
Not having individual Constitutions and allowing every person in this world Rights and privileges under the U.S. constitution amounts to nothing more than a One World Government period.
