Basic principle of libertarianism: my rights only extend so far to the point that they do not interfere with your rights, and vice versa. The classic example: I have every right to walk around swinging my arms wildly, until I come close enough to you that I could hit you, at that point, my right to swing my arms is limited by your right to not get hit.
We have reached a point where “your” right to own a gun is interfering with “my” right to be alive.
