When rights conflict

[AndyA]

9. The right to dictate others' actions

Yet society is expected in many states to tolerate strangers walking around carrying guns. Society is expected to blindly trust that that person is responsible and won't cause any harm. Gun rights supporters are dictating to society that we must tolerate this, as there is no other choice other than never leaving your house.

Survivors and witnesses to mass shootings like this are going to feel terror every time they see someone with a gun, which is certainly a reasonable reaction given the circumstances. Why should these innocent victims constantly have to endure this? It's impossible to pursue happiness when you are subjected to fear constantly, and fear is a normal and natural reaction in this instance.

Someone being murdered is the end result all too frequently of those protected second amendment rights. The victim's right to life is not being protected. That's a conflict.
