" However, as far as bearing arms, yep, it's an inviolable right as long as your are not a criminal."
I'd be kind of interested as to how you get the right to regulate that. Does the Constitution, or as you put it, the "inherent right to bear arms" contain a secret limiting clause that I haven't read?
I suppose you can have it both ways. You seem to do that well enough, but I've always wondered how you absolutists manage to decide that no one can regulate your rights, but you can regulate others'.
