That sounds like the kind of argument anti-gun people use.
“But, but, but, what if they decide to shoot up a school?!!!!”
The question was asked in order to show the unsustainable, self referential nature of moral relativism. Even the most liberal moral relativist shows he is not consistent in his moral relativism when he says someone "ought" not to do X, Y and Z. It's just a matter of finding the scenario that brings him out of his moral relativism.
No one is a true Moral Relativist.
An Absolute Moralist, however, would agree that it is always wrong for someone to shoot up a school. If shooting up a school full of innocent children is wrong for everyone everywhere and for all times, then Moral Relativism is false.
One simple question disables the Moral Relativist and their foolish ideology:
Is Moral Relativism absolutely true for everyone everywhere?
But, haven't you heard? Everything is relative.
