I mean, we have a right to keep and bear arms, so the government gives me a gun, right?

And I have a right to free speech, therefore the government should give me a megaphone or 1/2 page on the NYT.

I have the right to vote, therefore the government should come pick me up and take me to my polling place. AmiRite?

The right to travel is well-recognized, so I should ride on amtrack for free, no?
