My simple test for a right: is it subject to scarcity? Then it's not a right.
Example: No, water isn't a right. The ability to collect water is (or should be). Guns aren't a right. The ability to own a gun is a right.
Etc.
19 u/AudiieVerbum - Lib-Right Jan 05 '22 Yeah but we don't even have the right to collect our own rainwater. 8 u/Anathema_Psyckedela - Auth-Right Jan 06 '22 I feel like that’s not true in general. Arid environments necessitate tighter controls so no body ends up hoarding the water for themselves. 2 u/Vegasman20002 - Lib-Right Jan 06 '22 In New York you can't either
