Here's a gun right that I'd like. I'd like the right to restrict one other person from being able to obtain a weapon. Even at the cost of my own right to do so.

Here's a gun right that I'd like. I'd like the right to restrict one other person from being able to obtain a weapon. Even at the cost of my own right to do so. Like an anti-concealed-carry.
A huge amount of times the people surrounding these nut-jobs seem to know in advance that they're trouble. If every person had the ability to give up their own right to bear in exchange for preventing one other person from doing the same I think it would make a difference. Think of it as virtualizing the shootout between the two, each neutralizing the other.
Or perhaps a "credit" system where endorsements vs anti-endorsements must be positive? (You'd start with +1 for your own endorsement of yourself).
Difficult to implement to be sure but interesting idea?
- erichocean 10y agoThat's somewhat what the author was suggesting when he mentioned "network effects" near the end of the article. And you're right: by focusing on shooters—not weapons—the quote-unquote problem of rifles like that AR-15 being available to the general public becomes a lot more tractable.
