I didn’t say that I disagreed with anything, but I wouldn’t consider myself the biggest supporter of gun rights, for an example.

Guns are not a human right.

Well, I think some people would disagree. But, that’s my point. YOU think there are certain human rights that should be enforced, at least for certain people, but in order to do that, you need to be in a position of power to enforce those rights. There are people here in the US where I live that are in positions of power to enforce gun rights, and so gun rights exist.

Human rights would not be dependent upon a certain technology existing that didn’t exist for the vast majority of the time humans have existed.

Those people are idiots. Anyone who thinks guns are a human right is just confused because “right to bear arms” also has the word “right” in it.

I’m not the person you were originally discussing human rights with, but usually people who dedicate their education to ethics are the ones who write up a list of human rights.

And that list changes as we progress and develop new technologies.

For example The World Human Rights Commission reaches out to governments worldwide to get all countries as close to protecting humans rights as they can.

Unfortunately some countries choose to ignore them and continue harming people anyway for whatever reasons they want, if any at all. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any qualified people in the world to answer that question. There are quite a few people like that working on them as we speak.
