Rights are not granted by a government so how can they regulate them. They cannot.

Privileges are governed by rules created by the gov't.

Rights are absolute. Privileges not so much.

Rights cannot be revoked but, by imprisonment, you might be able to exercise them. IMO, a criminal convicted of murder still has the right to own a gun but he cannot have access due to his incarceration. If released, then he has re-acquired his ability to possess what he/she owns.

One does not need a gun to kill.
