Some Second Amendment advocates believe that they should enjoy the right to bear arms without any reasonable limits. However, we have accepted that we can not exercise many of our other fundamental rights, such as free speech and freedom of the press if, in so doing, we cause harm to others. Hence the laws against slander and libel as examples. To protect public safety in executive branch offices, private citizens should be willing to sacrifice their individual desires for the common good. To do otherwise only invites the opportunity for private disputes to become public tragedies of gun violence.
