Like you, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone...
You asked for examples of restrictions of our freedoms. You didn't qualify your request. I answered the question that you asked.
"tell me how "all kinds of things you can't buy" infringes on the rights of others"
Our country has limited the types of weapons you can buy, for a long long time. We impose these limitations on ourselves, for the sake of public safety. You already know this, so I can't fathom why you are asking the things you are asking.
You say (repeatedly) that you are in favor of banning bump stocks, then you seem to be making the argument that we shouldn't be banning anything...you are the one who is all over the place.
Scott and Detbuch...there are all kinds of restrictions on our freedoms (our freedoms to do certain things, to say certain things, to possess certain things) that are imposed for the sake of public safety. Only an anarchist would state that we don't need any restrictions, or a staunch libertarian I suppose...
In the wake of some high profile mass murders, I happen to believe that public safety could be improved, with some additional restrictions.
If neither of you thinks that a billionaire should be able to buy a nuke on Amazon, then you both agree we need these restrictions. We just disagree on where to draw the line.
This has been surreal.
