    Your claim to the contrary is more or less the same line of argumentation that says that someone merely carrying a firearm is infringing on the right to safety of others around the carrier. One, there is no right to "safety", just as there is no right not to get sick. Two, again, there is no evidence that someone carrying a firearm is likely to cause harm to another using that firearm, just as there is no evidence that someone merely not wearing a mask is going to make someone else sick from a respiratory virus.
    Can the person carrying that firearm shoot someone around them willy-nilly so long as the person shot doesn't die? That seems to be your argument, that if they don't die their rights weren't violated. After all, there's only the right to life, not the right to not get shot.

    For your argument to even come within shouting distance of making sense, the people with the firearms would have to be issued magazines many of which would contain dummy rounds, so that they would not know whether their particular firearm was potentially deadly

    Just like the people electing to not wear a mask, and the people Karening them, are equally unaware of any particular person's infectious status. And to make it even more realistic, only about 1 in 10 should be issued live ammo

    Speaking of Karens.. her name really is Karen!

    Don't want to wear a mask, cool, but if a business says it's time to go, it's time to go.




    Obviously she was looking to make a point and under some misguided idea that she could get some LEO in trouble.

    Is she really the 'karen' or is it the store or the whiny customer that called, just let her get her groceries and leave.

    No; that's your (and yet another) straw man.

    Breathing is now a "willy nilly" act? At some point, are we going to move past sophistry?
