There is no effective difference from the standpoint of lawful regulation, except that a "right" cannot be denied, at least not arbitrarily.
Oh bullshit.
You routinely advocate the arbitrary denial of the exercise of 'rights' to mere government-granted privileges so as to make the exercise of "rights' so limited and costly as to effectively abolish them.
But requiring you to register and insure your firearms doesn't deny you the ability to be "armed properly" to address an intruder.
It will when you and your precious Statists make insurance costs so high and prohibitive that only the richest Hollywood and corporatist citizens or agents of the state can exercise that right. Then you will move from firearms to knives, swords, slingshots and baseball bats.
It's what you advocates of tyranny always do. You never stop moving the goalposts or the lines of where 'rights' are just regulated privileges of the state.
Unless it's abortion, government-run healthcare or homosexuality.
Bunker dwellers like you are nuts.
I'm sure your next tyrannical suggestion will be to argue the empowerment of the State to imprison and eliminate 'bunker-dwelling nuts' that frighten you so.
Like I said - you are buying yourself a war and you will rue the day you were stupid enough to empower your behemoth government to instigate it.
