Who deprived them of their right to life? Wrong Jim, you have the right to try. Shot in the chest is only one of many ways to get killed or be killed. And none of those killed has had their rights abrogated, dead people don’t have rights. Complain to the bullet, the lightning bolt, the mud, the flood, the weather, the earth moving, the car company (all to often this is what happens), or whatever. You have the right to live your life, until it ends. Then you have no rights.



You have the right to own a gun, buy an alarm system, get a dog, hire a security guard, build a fence, live in the country, or a whole host of other options right along with none of the above. Did he take your rights? No, he took your TV. Show me in the constitution the passage that says you have a right to own a TV.



It does if you refuse to defend those rights. Refuse and you get exactly what you deserve.
