At the root here is the question of justice. It is justice that deals with
the most basic right of a human being, the right to live. That right has
been taken away from gun violence victims by a system that gave
the power to take their lives through ownership of guns.
The question that tortures anyone who believe in the most basic level
of justice is this: How could people here find it morally acceptable that
they live while others with them die based on pure luck related to something
they allow that is neither from nature nor man made and really needed?
Second, how does that fit with the freedom talked about that much in this country?
Freedom means a system that doesn't support making a person face the consequences
of something other than what comes as a result of his own choices .It doesn't
get lower on that scale than the resistance free empowerment with gun ownership
to take lives based on no choice made by the victims.
Beside the questions of justice and freedom, there is a question of dignity. What
self-respecting people accept a system that empowers on them resistance free randomized killing among them like some farm sheep anyone of them could be
picked for the slaughter house for no reason?
