The point of inalienable rights, is the realization that you are born with certain inherit abilities granted upon birth. You can speak, walk, and rationalize and no government can determine your capability to do these things, therefore the government has no authority limiting these things.
Likewise, you have the right to defend yourself, family, property, and possessions from harm and theft. Therefore you have the right to arm yourself in order to ensure you can adequately do this. You also need the ability to defend yourself if, as in the 13 Colonies example, your government infringes your safety or violates any of your inalienable rights such as your speech or self defence.
So the right to a weapon does not violate your idea of “natural law” but instead ensures your ability to function capably within the confines of natural law.
A Constitution does not “grant” rights you already have, but instead forces your government to recognize those rights and respect them.
The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning.
Apparently the President of the USA does not understand the word “inalienable”.

We already knew he failed Government 101.
Still using "fascist".
It is not a persuasive word. Not to the left, not to the right. It is a totally worn out cliché. It's what teenagers call the hall monitor.
Just like "shill" and "pedo", it's become synonymous with "someone I disagree with" and lost all of its impact.
