For me, making laws to catch people doing something who have not harmed anybody is an infringement. I completely understand that mine is a minority view and I accept that.
But it doesn't change my belief or opinion nor does it infringe (yet) on my belief that I should articulate what I believe, even when it is unpopular.

Perhaps I am missing something but would you rather have a law in place that prevents you from being killed or one that is in place that will prosecute the person who just killed you?
I am trying to present ideas that I think would help prevent the person from getting a gun to kill you, if it fails we can still prosecute but I'd like to prevent your death if at all possible.
