Default Re: Gun accidents? Guns are dangrous?

Just because I say that someone has the right to claim that their rights are violated doesn't mean that I think that their rights are violated or that any action needs to be taken. Do you see why?

Total backpedal.

It's not a backpedal at all, you just misinterpretted the direction I was going.

When someone says "I have the right to such and such" and someone else says "That violates my right to such and such" there must be a resolution. The resolution will, in the end, leave one person feeling that their rights are violated. That is inevitable. So it is not sufficient to say "I demand a gun as my right" because someone else can simply counter with "I demand that you not have a gun as my right."

The same applies to your attempt at reductio ad absurdum through the paranoid racist who demands that blacks not go anywhere near him. He can't get his wish only because no arbritration process will give it to him.
