Obviously, this propsal is not meant to increase liberty and advance social harmony, but as yet one more back door way to disparage people from exercising a right that “shall not be infringed”.
But if we are allowing that regulating firearms could include compensation for risk, since most deaths due to firearms due to actions that are illegal, are we suspending the legal doctrine of Force Majeure?
Fair is fair here. Do we really want to hold owners of all autos liable for financial damages arising from when, for example, an illegal immigrant kills someone in an auto accident? Or what liability will government itself have, when for example, an felon is released from prison on parole and he kills someone with a firearm?
I don’t think the people who advance this proposal have really thought out all the legal mischief it invites once it opens the door.
I disagree. I think the more mischief they can create, by any means, the more they like it.
