Serious question (I also highly value personal freedom): Isn’t the freedom to walk down the street or go to school without fear of a deranged shooter or accidental firearm discharge an important freedom too?

>Isn’t the freedom to walk down the street or go to school without fear of a deranged shooter or accidental firearm discharge an important freedom too? No. You have no right to not be in fear. And even using your argument, I feel less in fear walking down the street with "protection" than not, which by your argument strengthens my right to carry.

Strange conception of rights / freedom

Haneda has added capacity by massive reclamation of land, allowing it to build new runways.

Was the expansion as helpful they seemed to need Narita for? Could it have been done in the 1960's? If yes on both counts, it really gets the noggin joggin'. Maybe a pretense for stomping on the anti-government folks in Narita was the original motivation.
