Hmmmm let's say every last manufacturer of firearms decides to quit making them for public consumption and decides that each individual company's policy dictates that they can only supply to police and military, where are you going to find guns to fulfill your "right" to defend yourself with a gun?

I'll make them myself. Just like people in the US used to do and just like people around the world still do.

In the case of health care I do have a right to it, but that means I have a right to take care of myself. It does not mean I have a right to tell someone else to take care of me.

Too many people here are mistaking government largesse for a right.

Yes, of course they do.

Good.

Now let's say, for argument's sake, that every last doctor and nurse quits working so they can do something else. Every hospital and clinic closes because there no more doctors or nurses.

With absolutely no health care professionals and no health care facilities available how would someone fulfill this supposed "right" to health care?

Hire Philipino's

You mean exploit low-paid labor from the Third World? How imperial of you.
