    I don't agree with it, but I understand argument "I prize liberty to own guns so much I'm willing to accept periodic mass murders as price"

        @HeerJeet It's a commonplace that rights guarantee bad outcomes sometimes: guilty people do go free because of right to counsel.

        What is disingenuous is attempt to dodge cost/benefit of gun "right" & not acknowledge that massacres are part of the price.

        @HeerJeet what irks me is the selective application of cost benefits analysis to "rights." Seems only some "rights" get this treatment.

        @HeerJeet I seriously doubt many sexual freedom or divorce rights enshrined in law since 60's could pass a rigorous cost/benefits analysis

        @HeerJeet There's a parallel argument which is "More guns make everyone safer. We need more good guys w/ guns so bad guys don't get ideas."
