Today, particularly in America, there are many who claim "rights" for themselves.

This applies to gun ownership, political power and the right to decide whether to get vaccinted or wear a mask.

They forget that there is one sisuation in which government can interfere with the freedom of individuals: to protect other indeviduals.
