"Ownership doesn't intrinsically preclude you harming others."

How can I have property rights (ownership) if you can simply damage my property through your "property rights"? Property rights can not exist in this case.

It is intrinsically implied that people can not use their property to damage the property of others.

What? That doesn't make any sense. Why does the right of owning something present any kind of guarantees?

A hurricane can come by today and destroy your home. It doesn't mean you don't have the right to own the home.

The protection from damage is a separate right from that of ownership. That's all I'm saying.
