A rude and unreasonable demand
From the link on "compromise" below
You can't compromise liberty. There is no compromise between liberty-- doing all you have a right to do-- and someone's unreasonable feelings.
And yet, that's what rude anti-gun bigots demand.
No one has the right to demand someone else "give up some liberty". There is no such thing as "too much liberty", so there's never any conflict.
When you are living your liberty you aren't violating anyone in any way. It simply isn't possible.
Those whose feelings are hurt by this truth just need to grow up and get out of the way. If they are scared or offended it's a sign they are not sensible. If they demand you "compromise" your liberty for their feelings they are the bad guys. You have no obligation to deal with them. You certainly have no obligation to give up some of your liberty to make them feel better.
It wouldn't work anyway. People who demand you compromise your liberty are broken people. They'll never feel better because the problem is inside them. Nothing you give up will ever be enough for them. They'll always demand "just a little more".
No.
I don't want to be mean to anyone, but I'm not going to act as though anyone demanding someone else give up "some" liberty is being reasonable. They aren't. They are being rude, nasty, childish, and irrational. They can't be taken seriously, but they are a serious threat.

I was trying to find a clip on youtube, but it doesn't appear to be there.
Penn and Teller did a series - "Bullshit", and one of the episodes was on gun control.
They talked about one-way compromise and the inevitability of the outcome. Penn kept demanding Teller share some of his cake, eating the piece, then demanding Teller share some of his cake....
I remember that episode. It was a good one. I think I watched that about the time I started my blog... 2006.
People compromised for decades on chattel slavery in the early US. It did not end well.
