I think a lot of people don't think this way. They think rights are just good things that they like the government giving to them. I think of rights as things that require tricks and trust to violate.

Freedom of speech is a right for example because only the speaker and listener can decide the meaning of what they talk about. And its easy for two people to just share whatever they want in a place where nobody else can hear them.

Property is a right because the property owner cultivates their property in some form or another. Either they make it directly, collect something that nobody was using from a remote location, or contribute in some less direct way to the incentives or values that lead to its creation. Most people wouldn't do that if they wouldn't get anything in return, and so theft is immoral. Like, imagine robbing someone at gunpoint and they just rip their money in half?
