Submission statement: liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual and that those individual rights are more important than any collective priority. Individuals are treated as ends in themselves, not as tools or instruments for a collective or state agenda.
With this decision from the justice dept. combined with the ruling individuals right to property and self-defense has expanded. Opponents cite “public safety” to justify restricting these items. By allowing the deregulation, the state’s objective of collective security is subordinated to the individual’s rights.
The case demonstrates a core tenet of true liberalism: the state cannot infringe upon the autonomy and rights of the individual to satisfy the fears or desires of the collective.
