One last example of limits/restrictions placed on rights. I'll use the 2nd amendment.
Shall not be infringed is the language it uses. Yet in my state of Ohio, my right is infringed from bearing arms in certain places, govn't buildings, schools, banks and anywhere a business owner places a sign on the entryway stating that no weappons are allowed on premises. That puts a restriction on my right to bear arms.
unless the definition of absolute is changed in the dictionary, this discussion is over. Numerous examples have been placed before you showing you that your rights aren't absolute. I will no longer discuss this topic with someone who will not accept reality.

dksuddeth isn't arguing reality, he's arguing what he thinks SHOULD be reality (per his perception of the framers' intentions). To him, you SHOULD be able to carry a gun into all of those places.
You're arguing two different things
