Elements of both the left and the right correctly recognize that certain demographics cannot be trusted with certain responsibilities. Look at the gun violence in Chicago, Baltimore, etc. Does the evidence suggest that black America can be trusted with the right to bear arms?

The leftist solution to this problem is to take responsibilities and rights away from everyone and put them all wholly under the purview of the state. If some demo can’t handle the second amendment, then no one gets it.

The right wing solution is to segregate away from those unaccountable demographics that would sabotage our rights and freedoms. If a certain demo can’t handle the second amendment, then I don’t want to live with that demo.

The third solution is to enshrine rights and freedoms in stone and let the chips fall where they may. This one sounds the best on paper, but it’s really only feasible with the right demographics. You can’t give The Congo the same freedom as Northern Europe because the people in the Congo will use it to literally eat you.

Well said
