We have a "right" to own guns, but not a right to health care, food, shelter, clothing, employment

[1-Old-Man]

119. The answer to your question is really pretty simple, maybe not what you want, but simple enough.

The rights we have do not require any action by any other person. You may think what you like, say what you like, believe in any god you like, defend yourself from whatever demons haunt you, be free from double jeopardy in court and so forth. But the provision of health care, food, or shelter demands that someone else do something for you. And that is the difference. In effect all rights are personal and no right can demand action from a second person, because that would broach their own right to self determination.

That does not, not for a second, mean that we as a people can not demand these things. In fact we can. But if we do we have to be willing to pay the price that goes with one person providing a service to another. Its no big deal to do that, we do it every day, but we do it by the popular demand and enact it by law, not the natural right of the individual, which we protect with, in our case, the bill of rights.
