And there's the rub... the restrictions... Some see them as reasonable, some see them as contravening their "rights". Hunting season, bag limits, registering firearms, what is a restricted or prohibited weapon... Sort of depends what side of the fence you are on as to what is a reasonable restriction.

Everyone thinks they have a "right" to everything they personally hold dear or want. If it isn't in the constitution, a treaty, or a legal precedent it isn't your right. Certainly fight to make it one if you wish, but there are no natural rights.
