Libertarians and gun rights people understand that keeping arms means not brandishing them into a crowd while blindfolded and no idea if the gun is loaded.
Guns: an apt analogy. Here in UK, almost no one advocates for gun rights. Doing so in front of my colleagues would likely make me a pariah.
Their reasoning is simple /guns kill people, end of. Doesn’t matter about ‘muh rights’, guns are contagious, and eventually that means death for someone/
The moral to the story is that everyone draws the lines of safety vs freedom differently. One states responsible citizen is another states reckless idiot.
Yes. And each of us should be free to associate with those who we feel are not reckless idiots, and to remove reckless idiots from any property we own.
Agreed. Whether masks vs no-masks or pull-down-the-offensive-statues vs don’t-pull-down-the-offensive-statues, ‘public spaces’ are an endless source of division.
