You simply do not understand individual rights. Your arguing collectivism, not rights. You claim I am costing people money, that I am coercing people through the exercise of my rights. I'm saying, show me that. Where have I personally cost any other individual money or infringed upon that individual's rights through the exercise of my own rights. You are looking to limit the exercise of the rights of freemen, that is the crux of your argument. You don't want people exercising their rights because aggregated over the whole it makes things more dangerous. Well duh! Free is not safe, free has never been safe, and free will never be safe. Free is free, and because we are free to choose, some are going to choose to be asses. You just deal with it, it's a consequence of freedom and liberty. We have courts for this crap.
I can not be held responsible for the actions and choices of another individual. But you want to punish me collectively because I happen to exercise one of my rights. If freedom and liberty are your charge, then you have to deal with thing individually. An individual makes the choice to commit crimes with a gun, and that individual is responsible for the consequences of that action. I can not be held accountable for the actions of that person. I can not be fined, I can not be thrown in jail, I can not have my rights curtailed in any way less I personally have done something to infringe upon the rights of another individual. And I have done nothing of the sorts, I am merely a man looking to exercise the full of his rights. And in a free society, I shouldn't be punished for doing so.
