What rights are you willing to give up for the delusion of being safe?  Would you be willing to become a slave for life if no one physically harmed you?  What about the rights for due process and against self-incrimination?  They are 228 years old.  Do you want to toss them?

I don't agree with all of your points, but slavery is a good example of a right that's unalienable. No one can make you a slave legally, even if you agree to it. The word doesn't mean that the law can't be changed, but it does mean that while it's in effect, no contract can bind you against it. In the case of firearms, the state can deprive you of legal access them to them under conditions it specifies, but if you were to sign a contract promising to never own a gun again when you have the legal right to do so, the contract would be invalid, because the right is unalienable.
