Default Re: Gun accidents? Guns are dangrous?

[ QUOTE ]
Here's what we do: carry on doing what we were doing, me having my gun, noting your objection in the log book, you whining about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that is insufficient because my rights are still being violated. What do we do now?

[/ QUOTE ]

What right? Your right to "feel" a certain way?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm sorry, but you're really just saying that inaction is always the solution. There needs to be an arbitration process to resolve different views of individual rights.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, there doesn't. Just don't interact with people that have views you don't like. If they try to forcibly interact with you THEN you certainly have a case for arbitration.

[ QUOTE ]
If the arbitration process agrees with me, then your gun must be forfeited. I'm sorry that you feel this is a violation of your rights, but that's not any worse than me feeling that my rights are being violated.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait, and actual violation of rights is no worse than a "feeling" of rights being violated?

[ QUOTE ]
The best we can hope for is the maximum number of people being optimally satisfied (or minimally dissatisfied to put it in a more depressing way).

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a horrible scenario. Utilitarian calculus leads to oppression, invariably. And it requires some central planner to make decsions about "how satisfied" people should be, or are, and make centralized decisions based on those subjective judgements (unless you can show us a way of objectively mesauring satisfaction).
