(18,591 posts)23. The errors and omissions
"...Constitution that gives us our right..." The right is innate; not created by the Constitution or any other law.
"...Federal, State and Local governments..." Federal and state yes, local less so.
"...the right to control and curb the right..." Governments don't have rights they have power/authority. Their laws neither control nor curb any rights. Laws delimit criminal activity such that a reasonable person can deter ahead what is and isn't a crime.
A sincere thanks for joining the discussion and welcome to the group.
