Default Re: Gun accidents? Guns are dangrous?

For some set of criteria to be a right, it has to be objective.

This does not mean that which criteria are rights and which are not is objective.

Okay, I think I know where you're coming from. Please let me know if I have it right:

You are saying that since it is only my opinion that my chance of being harmed has gone up due to your gun, I can't claim that it is violating my rights. If you shot me, I could say that you violated my rights because I could point at the wound and say "there it is, I'm harmed" and that would be objectively observed. I would be appealing to my right to not be harmed by you, and I would be able to objectively demonstrate it.
