Yeah, my rights are counterbalanced against safety instead of other rights. Nothing backwards about that.
There are many rights that are countered for the safety of others. Heck, just requiring a driver's license to begin with to drive on public roads is a restriction on your right to travel as you wish. Having to register your car. Heck, not being able to ride a skateboard in the middle of the street or walk on freeways. All for public safety, along with many other things. Most things that have laws about them are a matter of one person's rights vs either another person's rights, the good of the public, and/or safety (there are a few exceptions).
