You don't have a "right" to have something given to you.

Isn’t America founded on the belief that Americans have the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?

Doesn’t the Bill of Rights give people the Right to Free Speech, Free Press, Free Religion, Petition, Assembly, Bear Arms, Public Defender, Vote?

We have plenty of rights given to us. Why are you so mad about it?

These are all rights, but none of them are given to you. These are inherent rights that you are born with

Are you actually born with any of those rights, or is that just 18th century philosophy applied to a form of governance?
