Summary

This quote questions the disparity between the rights granted to individuals. It highlights the argument that if Charlton Heston, a famous actor and activist for gun ownership, can have a constitutional right to bear arms, then why can't individuals, like grandmothers, have a constitutional right to access healthcare? By juxtaposing the two ideas, the quote suggests the need for equal consideration and protection of rights, regardless of an individual's social status or background.
