There are lots of rules we follow for public benefit and to avoid unnecessary injuries and death.

People tend to accept these.

They don't threaten governors so they can drive on sidewalks. They don't walk around state capitols carrying firearms to defend their freedom to drive on sidewalks.

They don't post to social media that automobile deaths are fake news, or that seat belts are a conspiracy funded by Bill Gates to brign about socialism.
