That's exactly my point. Ultimately, that right is only as good as the enforcement mechanism behind it.
...and the enforcement mechanism is me, not 'a government.'

Not if I had a bigger group of people with more weapons, without a society to hold anyone to account might is right would prevail.
I wouldn't really care if he has more weapons. A little patience and a well placed shot from 300 yards will do the trick.

Not a chance in hell that Covid is gone in fall. Saying "there's a chance it's gone in fall" is like saying there's a chance the sun will explode tomorrow. Sure, it's within the realm of possibility, but we have no reason to expect it to happen. Honestly, at this point we have no reason to expect that Covid won't be a permanent disease until we have total immunization.
If you listened to him yesterday, he used the phrase, then went on to describe extensive testing and contact tracing. In full context, his comments never left the impression he really thought it's possible the virus won't be here this fall/winter, but that it will be well-managed.
