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.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.
