ben,

AFAICT the argument you are presenting simply 'why don't I have the right to bear arm?', which is not an argument at all. The onus is not on someone else to prove that you don't have that 'right', it's on you to give a convincing argument that you do. Preferably while avoiding both Hume's Guillotine and Hume's Fork.

The right in question is the right to self defense. If you agree that's a right, then the onus is on you to explain why it should be "the right to self defense except with guns."

I don't agree that there are any 'natural rights'. Rights are a social construction, not an objective fact.

You can also have the right to self defence by any means at your disposal, but not have the right to bear arms. I don't see how the two are incompatible.
