Per Geoffrey Stone. Same thing different words.

The harm principle seems to be implicit in the bill of rights, without being expressed.

Hi faul,

Like clo, haven't seen it. But maybe there's someone out there making a joke in poor taste.

That's a bit different from a person with a gun shooting 20 children at their kindergarten. Less amusing.

Certainly there are some folks appearing on tv about whom I wonder how on earth they are allowed to possess a weapon.

But tv interviews is not what the argument is about. The US is trying to fix a big problem that involves killing innocents. Ruling out the thing which actually works (ie making it hard to possess a weapon) is a bit hopeless.

I get that your freedom-good intentions model suggests these massacres shouldn't happen. But this is how things work in reality. Unregulated environments produce negative externalities.
