Nietzsche's slave mentality on full display here. The left can't reconcile the perfectly coherent set of principles that underlie the fundamental concept that your safety is your own responsibility, and that you shouldn't be able to force the responsibility on others to try to make you feel safe.
You don't get to tell other people what they have to wear on their face or put in their body because you're afraid of a virus. You don't get to tell other people they can't have guns because you're afraid of guns. You do get to own guns so that you can protect yourself and your family from things that threaten them.
Outsourcing the responsibility for your safety to the government not only amounts to surrendering your rights and freedoms, and forcing everyone else to give away their freedoms, but it also in the long run will make you objectively less safe. But the alternative is taking responsibility, and they just can't stand that.
Nailed it. Their main concern is negating their fear. And their fear of something (and they sure seem to be afraid of a lot) does not usurp my individual rights.
Freedom is inherently dangerous. Deal with it.
