"Rights" has nothing to do with humans being unaware of how they think and process information. I am talking about the psychology of the climate, and why these conditions we currently have keep repeating.
It is the same evolutionary flawed perception ON ANY SUBJECT MATTER. If it isn't affecting you personally then it isn't doing anyone at all any harm. That is simply not the case. That girl who did that, has a family, regardless of her legal rights. Would that same girl who needlessly got her self killed, make that same argument if it was not her, but watched her own friend do it? My bet is most people do not think before they do something. And the gun makers love, just like many other types of businesses, do not care about what their products do and simply are more concerned about making a buck. It is really no different than Nadar and cars, and oil companies who fought to keep led in gas.
It is about lack of pragmatism and not taking responsibility. It has nothing at all to do with rights. Guns are merely one symptom of a climate in big business that cares more about making money than it should about the conditions of the society they make their money in.
Just because you can staple your nuts to the wall does not mean you should.
