I have no clue what this dude's argument is even trying to be.
As far as I can tell: "My personal freedom is threatened by rules that I didn't make. How we get to having too many rules is immaterial; my skewed moral compass dictates that my personal freedom comes first."

"I never killed anyone yet, so I should be allowed to have an opportunity"
"It's your fault, and even if it the facts say it is my fault - there's nothing we can do about it, and it's probably also still your fault."
