Reply #24: Same as anything else

Self-sovereignty. Natural rights. I sort of see it as an extension to the right of life. Defense of your own life is rather important since you only get one go at it. And you should have the right to have the proper tools for it.

I suppose it also depends on your view of rights. Personally, I don't believe rights have to be codified into law to be rights. I believe that you have the right to do anything you want as long as you don't harm anybody else in the process.

Also, even if you don't believe one thing is a right, you easily open yourself for others to deny something you cherish is a right as well.
