They have a certain point Dio. For example I have to restrict my freedom of expression to be tolerant and nonoffensive don't I.

Balancing freedom vs restriction for collective good is tricky. When people abuse that freedom, no one is free from abuse or crime. What is worse? THis is the issue central to gun ownership.

Freedom to own a gun = the freedom to get shot.
