Actually, he's correct. Flying is a privalege, not a right. The FARs even
use that language. Remember what happened after 9/11? The government took
away everyone's privalege to fly, but took away no one's right to free
speech.

Actually, you're both wrong...sorta.


Nope.



What you have is the natural right to travel/move about freely in
public.
HOW you move about, though, is subject to limitations. Same with
driving.


Correct, and as long as you meet the requirements you cannot be denied the
right to fly. Or drive. That's what makes it a right and not a
privilege.



Same with guns: you have the right to a proper self-defense and
self-protection, but not necessarily a right to own/carry GUNS.


It appears you're unfamiliar with the Bill of Rights.
