Personal Freedom

[softail-joanie]

What does it mean?, to you. What do you believe it means to others? Should we be telling people what they can and can't have in their homes, carry with them in public?

If someone had something that they might possiblly be able to use to harm someone else, even if they had not done so, should we apply pre crime rules and take that item away? If it was a similar item to what others have used to harm others, should we punnish all who might want to have or carry said item?

Yes we should restrict personal freedoms. Some people need that restriction.
I am happy to have them restricted for the safety of everyone.

A pro-gun post is still a pro-gun post no matter how you dress it up...blind Freddie can see what you are getting at.

The thing is,we feel safe in Aus as there is gun control

People in the US must not feel safe if they want/demand to carry a gun for protection,(no offence meant)

It's simple logic,

My personal definition of personal freedom is that I should be allowed to live my life without the fear that that some deranged person who has serious mental problems, is able to buy firearms and carry out a vendetta against innocent people.

Absolutely; anything that is detrimental to the rest of the society needs to weighed carefully that so call "right" of one person does not impinge on rights of others.

I do not want any idiot to be able to own a gun, live tiger, crocodile or dangerous snake, or other dangerous animal without some sort of permit/license.  I do not want just anybody to be allowed to poses dangerous materials like explosives or poisons, or radioactive materials.  I do not want people to smoke in public places, because smoke affects my breathing.  I do not want people to have the right to get the most powerful stereo and blast their head banging music over the whole suburb day and night.

I do not want people to have the right to make or watch child porn, in their own home or anywhere else.
