Oh.. how about starting with the Revolutionary War? Did that take time, effort, and money from someone?

Now that I’ve had time to think about it: It might take time, effort, and money to protect a right, but the right itself does not.

The Revolutionary War gave me those two rights. But if I spend my money on a gun, store it safely in my house, and buy my own ammo, I haven’t imposed on you any.

If I print out a broadsheet and stand on the corner to pass it out, as long as I do not harass or physically block your way to demand you read it, I haven’t imposed on you any.
