Crime is rampant among the poor, lets limit their 2nd Amendment rights.

Rich guys are dominating the political debate, lets limit their 1st Amendment rights.

Fat people make our insurance rates go up, lets restrict their freedom to buy a 16 oz. Coke.

Some nut shot up a school, lets confiscate gun owner's weapons.

I don't like what that guy said, lets make THAT sort of speech illegal.

Removing basic freedoms often seems like an easy solution to a host of problems, but then at some point you end up not free.

I would consider that some rights need to be "paid" for, or that you should have to meet certain requirements in order to exercise your rights. All 50 states already do that with firearms now. Your hypothetical about canceling the rights of poor people because of crime already happens today - if we're talking about the inner city neighborhoods of cities with very restrictive gun laws.
