Every quality that makes us what we are as individual humans, and doesn’t damage the same qualities of others, is our natural right. Invention is one of those rights. Our inventions become part of our environment and the rights to have and use them, come by virtue of their existence. Thus, we have the right to properly use firearms, including using them for self defense.

One might call government an invention, but government is a special case because we are allowed to state its terms as laws, which may or may not be in accordance with natural law. Normal inventions are typically governed by the laws of physics, and we don’t get to write those laws, no matter what the "overunity types" think. A revolutionary idea of our founders was that moral action was governed by formulae that mirrored the physical laws, and saw this as part of natural law. As an invention, the right to government is also governed by the principle of proper use.

If the government were constructed so that it was in full accordance with natural law, then voting would be a natural right. This is not possible due to our incomplete knowledge of natural law, and our natural inclination to push the limits of that law. Thus, voting can only be defined as a right by virtue of contract, a privilege granted in exchange for our agreement to terms.
