: : - access to a doctor , therefore, to health (unless you have the money to pay for a doctor).

Actually no. If you're poor you have access to the abosolute minimum, which often isn't enough.
Several years ago I had a friend who worked like 80 hours a week, but had no health insurance. He died as a rssult of an
infected wound, he couldn't get medical care when he needed it.
All too often you just enough medical attention so they can toss you out the door.
: Our right to own guns is enshrined in the same constitution that establishes the three branches of government. If Americans are rabid about one thing, it is remaining free.
And gun owners always keep forgeting the first part of the
second amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Gun rights people will go on about the right to bear arms but hey never mention anything about a well regulated militia.
