Just yesterday I encountered a mouth breather who asserted that dead kids were simply the price of freedom.
That's what it boils down to. "The risks associated with the rights that I personally value are acceptable/the cost of freedom. The risks associated with the rights I personally don't value aren't."
Thomas Paine didn't have access to AR-15s. Is this more orignalist crap? Ok, you can have a musket.
There is NO POINT at all in having our system of checks and balances if all we ever do is what one side says. The founders fought a King who wanted the colonies to only do what he said.
Not getting 100% of what you want all the time is not persecution.
