Is it okay to use the same argument on immigration as anti-gunners use for gun control?

I have been reading the news and social media too much lately on this temporary immigration/travel ban. One argument I keep hearing is if it saves one American life it is worth it. I have heard this same argument made on gun control. I know there is better arguments for this temp ban but the one I indicated is a poor one.
Gun Control
Firearms and Guns
Immigration
Safety

That is just a silly argument. The Constitution guaranties Gun Rights. Immigration is a privilege. Why is that so hard to understand?

SFC Pete Kain Just so we are on the same page I have no problem with the temp ban. My problem is one of the arguments being used to be for it. I have argued with anti-gunners before making the same argument. "If it saves one American it is worth it." I think we can make a better argument for it.

One is a Constitutional right and one is for the security of the nation. They are not the same.

SGT William Howell Yes, I they are not the same but the argument used is wrong in both cases.

SGT William Howell - The issues are different I agree. The argument of "if it saves one American life" is wrong.
Sorry about before I re-read and it is confusing.

As I mentioned in an earlier post when you brought this up, the Constitution covers gun rights for American citizens, whereas the immigration ban is not covered under the Constitution.

LTC (Join to see) Yes, our discussion inspired my post.
I am not against the temp ban I just don't like the argument being made for it.
