its the numerology that confuses me,
one could very reasonable argue the 2nd costs 30k lives a year, but it is a right, so presumably an acceptable cost. but that is 10 911s a year.
we apparently will happily throw the 4th or 5th under the bus to save 1/100th (over the last decade) of what we consider inalienable in the case of the 2nd.
apparently the glamour of cost is more important than the numbers, or perhaps it is the 'foreigness', but in the end none of it makes sense. We shred the founding scripture to prevent what we find completely tolerable in almost every other circumstance (voluntary vaccination, alcohol, youth driving, the 2nd, the list goes on ... things that yield a 911 every week, numerically speaking).
The above content is my opinion.
