So what you are saying is that we should ban the freedom to own guns because some, (the bad people) will inevitably use them in a way that causes harm to you?

When the inevitable harm (or the cost of eliminating it) outweighs the value of the freedom (as it does on some issues), regulation is needed.

"When the inevitable harm (or the cost of eliminating it) outweighs the value of the freedom (as it does on some issues), regulation is needed."

So it's ok with you if anything is banned so long as a majority of the people, or a well connected special interest group, believe that on balance it would be better to ban it?

I guess there is no point in arguing with you since you don't believe in freedom. You have alot of company in this country unfortunatly.

Don't say I didn't warn you when something or some activity you hold dear is banned as well.

Our society is creeping towards the totalitarianism. We are smothering ourselves in good intentions.

Strange that you don't see it when you admit that: "We have overregulation here, "
