I'll open the smelly can of tuna- Just how do our "gun rights" come from God?

Your right to defend yourself and property. Essentially the .gov does not have the authority to deprive you of any 'arms' they may issue or use. At least level the playing field to keep the .gov from having an advantage if tyranny were ever to rear it's ugly head. Which they assumed would eventually and repeatedly happen. It's also considered inalienable which means it can not ever be taken. At the time it was just assumed and even writing it did not make sense to the laymen. But being a wise bunch of freedom lovers who were thinking about you and I, knew that at some point in time some power hungry tyrant would attempt to say differently so they wrote just to make sure.

What section of the bible is that in, Ecclesiastics or Old testament?

I couldn't tell you if and where you could find it in the bible. If you're referring to 'God giving right' then I would say that 'God' is whatever 'God' you look to. It may Jesus Christ, Buddha, God from the 1st Testament. If you're an atheist you may believe 'God' is nature. Not really important which 'God' you subscribe to. It's your 'natural' right to defend you and yours against attack.
