All of the rights granted by both our federal and state constitutions are inalienable rights, not rights granted to us by an elected government and, therefore, our rights cannot be impeded upon by said government. Although all of our rights are equally important, the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1 Section 13 of the Virginia Bill of Rights give us our ability to protect all of our other rights in the event that our government becomes tyrannical.

We're constantly seeing a lack of clarity on these basic concepts exhibited by our elected and/or appointed leaders. That shouldn't be a surprise. It has been years since the school systems have taken it upon themselves to teach the fundamentals of American history and the workings of our government. The reasons behind that should be pretty clear if you think about it for a bit.
Case in point: On the morning of April 19, 1775, some 3000 formerly loyal British subjects ran, some of them for miles, for the opportunity to open fire on units of their own army and marines.
What government would want their citizens to understand the reasons their ancestors did such a thing and perhaps follow their example?
