Firearm Flex - Rights Explained 

The Constitution is designed to limit government powers, not to grant rights. It acknowledges inalienable rights, like those in the Second Amendment, which are considered pre-existing and not granted by government, hence cannot be taken away. When an officer claims to preserve the right by maintaining a permit, it reflects a misunderstanding, as rights described in the Constitution and believed to be God-given are inherently retained by individuals, not contingent upon permits. This suggests the officer may not grasp that constitutional rights are meant to limit government, emphasizing their inalienability.
