Brandon Howard, a retired US Army Veteran said "The government didn't give me these rights. These are the rights granted to us by our creator, our lord and saviour, God and Jesus Christ. These wussy liberals want peace but we need these to have it".


loooool


To be fair, even the Declaration of Independence references that the rights don't come from government itself:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed


The fact that rights supersede government is a meaningful distinction, because it justifies intervention on behalf of a nation's citizens.


The guy is literally saying his right to own weapons meant to kill people is a right granted to him by Jesus Christ. And just because a constitution says something is true, doesn't mean it is. The right to bear arms in the US is unarguably granted by the US government.
