I've cited dozens of books and pamphlets he can read. I've explained it so simply a child can understand it. So you are either more dense than a child or just too stubborn to read.
I'll break it down once more.
Natural rights come from nature. We are born with our rights. They don't come from "society".
We are born with the RIGHT to life that even pierce doesn't dispute. Because we are born with the right to life, we are also born with the right to defend that life by any means necessary. Because we own our life, we own our body. Because we own our mind we have the right to think freely. Because we own our voice we have the right to speak freely. Because we own our labor, nobody else is entitled to it or to the fruits of it.
A right is the exact opposite of a privilege.
Michael Badnarik does a great job of explaining the difference between rights and privileges here....

Take your fucking pick and actually read instead of lying by claiming that I haven't proved each and every word I've said, or that I haven't cited credible and reliable sources to verify what I'm saying
If you disagree with any part of anything I've said, you are a fucking blithering idiot.
