Or, hell, even take out "affordable" - why, when we have successfully invented unprecedented treatments and cures for fatal diseases, do we withhold them simply because people don't have money?

Unless you know how to make your own guns and ammo from scratch, someone has to perform labor so you can exercise your 2nd Amendment rights.

There is nothing more important than healthcare, so it should be readily available and affordable to everyone, at least at some base level of care. If we don't even have a inalienable right to be healthy or alive to enjoy our rights, then what the fuck is the point of anything? I thought Life was one of those rights?

Cause for some reason Americans dont mind relying on a insurance company thats usually find any excuse not to pay, for health care. In Batman movie massacre some of survivors had medical bills of 2 million dollars. The doctors and hospital director were jizzing in their pants over amount of money they made.

I've just never had the desire. One of my stepsisters said she knew she wanted to be a mother someday even back when she was a kid herself. I've never had that parental instinct. I knew I wanted to be childless even before getting laid was a thing. I think it's partially because I'm adopted, so familial bonds have only existed on a surface level, and also because I grew up in an unstable household, so subjecting others to a childhood just doesn't seem right. Anxiety probably plays a role too i guess. I enjoy being around my nieces and nephew when I see them, but the most responsibility I would ever want would be kinda taking it upon myself to babysit/supervise at family gatherings when all the other adults are busy doing other stuff, and that's only because they're at the age where they only just barely need an adult in the room to make sure they don't get into trouble.

Sure. And that's why you pay for the gun. The second amendment says the right to own guns won't be infringed; not that the government is obligated to ensure the availability of guns.
