Correct.

And on top of that, there's the Leftie propaganda that the Constitution
**grants** us rights.  It does not.  It only calls out the fact that we
have rights and that those rights existed before the gov't existed.

The people have all rights and, through the Constitution, grants the gov't
power.

Of course, Lefties want to pretend that none of this exists.
