Can Responsibility and Obligation Sustain a Movement?

Rights has long been the key term of the gun debate. Obama has used the language of rights by arguing that gun control is consistent with the Second Amendment. He has also tried to expand the scope of rights by arguing that an unwavering defense of the Second Amendment infringes on other rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights. On January 16, 2013, Obama made the following claim:

The right to worship freely and safely, that right was denied to Sikhs in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The right to assemble peaceably, that right was denied shoppers in Clackamas, Oregon, and moviegoers in Aurora, Colorado. That most fundamental set of rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness—fundamental rights that were denied to college students at Virginia Tech, and high school students at Columbine, and elementary school students in Newtown, and kids on street corners in Chicago on too frequent a basis to tolerate, and all the families who’ve never imagined that they’d lose a loved one to a bullet—those rights are at stake.86
