Quote:But you are making a law and one that doesn't allow everyone to be free.  If you make one law then there will be more that follow.  It isn't as simple as you seem to be making it.  Extremely complicated with all kinds of negative ramifications with what you are wanting.  

 

So does freedom mean we should be allowed to own any weapon we want?  You making laws for that to?  Is your only law you can't harm others?  What about drinking and driving?  Technically you may not hurt anyone by doing so.  Is that a law to?

 

Sure you can own any weapon, I believe in a populace that's armed better than it's government. Government should ALWAYS be in fear of it's people.

 

Drinking and Driving, Public Intoxication, Nudity (another popular one people through out there) those are all up to local individual communities. Maybe Montana doesn't think it's necessary to police DUI, you're more likely to hit a tree and kill yourself then someone else it's so rural. But a place like Jacksonville would see the need to restrict DUI's. 

 

Also roads are often built with public funds, so it's reasonable to have restrictions on who can and can't operate a vehicle on those roads. For example age restrictions, intoxication restrictions, that all falls under the reasonable protection of property of others using the public road. 

 

Federal legislation is not the only way to govern. Individual communities are free to make agreements among themselves. You might even have some communities that say we only want ____ people with ____ income living here so what, some will fail some will thrive and life goes on.
