Do you consider using a table saw a right?

Certainly.

I'd classify it as a privilege too. There is some document written hundreds of years ago talking about the pursuit of happiness. Maybe table saws fall under that saying. Using table saws is a privilege. The government can mandate insurance and/or safety devices.


Maybe you have a table saw license?



Can anyone give an example of a law that required using a patented, licensed device?

This question still stands. Does anyone have an example of a government mandated device that was still under license and restricted? ABS, airbags, seatbelts were all public property free to everyone when they were mandated.
