The man who will surrender freedom for security deserves neither... Benjamin Franklin...

I would never let my children play in the street so I would be a d@^n fool to fight for the right to play in it myself, while saying that it is a noble thing to sacrifice security for freedom!

Silly analogy. Playing in the street is not illegal just to protect foolish people from their own stupidity, it's illegal because playing in the street causes accidents and therefore damages other parties.
