That cannot be proven, in anyway. Bear in mind, any observation of the tree falling would be breaking the rule.
But.. If nothing is witnessing it, did it even happen?
Is the tree even alive?
Perhaps the tree is dead and alive at the same time, and the interference of anything decides whether the tree lives or dies?
Maybe, everytime you witness a tree falling, in a quantum leap, it didnt.

You seriously want people to experience "technical curiousity" through firearms?
Curiousity through firearms?
Because.. THAT will not end badly at all, right? High school kids exploring their "technical curiousities" with firearms.
Also the rest of your argument is fallacious, depriving someone of a firearm is not depriving them of making morale choices, at all. Abortion is a matter of morale, taking a lousy parent's child away is a matter of morale, taking a murderweapon from a person to prevent death is not a matter of morale, and certainly does not deprive the owner of making morale decision (in fact, the fact that when you own a gun, you have to make morale decision about it, signifies how many times straight up murder would be unnecessary).
"Deny them the right to stand tall when they are small"..
That sounds sick, no offence. I don't wanna offend you, but that seems like some stereotypical American bravado-Texan speaking there. A gun makes you tall? Seriously? You are quite literally stating that firepower is might, and might is important. How about a society where standing tall or small wouldn't be a matter of possession? But rather a matter of political views and wording them? Using words instead of guns seems like a much more sensible choice, quite objectively. That is so sickly republican that I want to puke.
And the technical curiosity? Guns have existed for hundreds of years, I think we are WELL beyond the time of exploring firearms in your backyard. And if you are doing so, you deserve to shoot yourself accidentally, for being a moron.
