i would argue that you probably lean more on the side of sharing user rights and freedoms generically. Rather than the more specific "software and ideas"
You can certainly have different opinions relating to guns. But they do have a fundamental overlap of underlying concepts. Rights are rights at the end of the day. Either you have them. And they're justified, or you don't, and none of them are.
Rights are what a community agrees on that they should have. I'm happy my community has agreed that owning guns is a priviledge, not a right. There is no sufficient reason owning guns should be a right, so I can be completely in favour of rights and freedoms without including any right to own guns.
i mean, technically if we're arguing that it's a privilege more than a right. That wouldn't really change the point being made here, considering that legally, the government does have the ability to prevent you from owning a gun. Minor semantic shenanigan though so meh.
Please just stop
i think this is probably the best reply i've gotten so far.
