Someone saying that means that rights can be restricted or taken away if they are abused. For instance, the right to bear arms, guaranteed in the constitution, is taken away for convicted felons. The right to freedom (at least in body) is restricted when someone commits a crime and is incarcerated. Rights under the law aren't absolute when people start violating other people's rights.
