Because rare is the liberty Dimocrats don't want abrogated in the name of "safety," and few and far between are the personal freedoms they don't want to see curtailed "fuuurrr theee chiiiiiiildrennnn" (as long as those children have been born, that is: they're all for aborting as many kids as possible while they're still in their mother's womb).
The Dimocrat Party is, in sum and substance, the Anti-Freedom Party, period.
That's certainly a different view on it.
