The best modern tome on human rights comes from Henry B. Veatch in "Human Rights: Fact or Fancy?," from 2007. He builds his argument step by step, carefully laying the foundation for his central assertion that our basic rights are discoverable directly in the facts of nature.
@kevinrkosar I was trying to get to your fundamental understanding of natural rights before I made an attempt to answer your question. The National FIrearms Act blatantly ignores the 2nd Amendment. The 9th and 10th Amendments are entirely ignored by the federal government across the board
@nickgillespie Without getting into the details of each contract specifically (no-bid? number of viable contractors?), it's basically an allegation without substantiation

@mtracey It's so strange Trump wouldn't just lay out his plans and the coordination with the US ally in this operation?It really shouldn't be some revelation, and it's why many of us do not hang on his every word
@christopherrufo The election process in the Dem controlled areas is designed so they're not auditable. They can't be falsified given the rules/regulations
