    You confused personal choice with putting others in danger.

    I don’t care if another adult is not wearing a seatbelt … it’s not my business. If someone is building a dangerous explosive weapon then it does concern me and that is where regulations kick in.

    Personal Freedom. The key word is “personal”. You may like having the government be your mother, but some of us don’t fucking trust the government at this point.

      I trusted the government far more than i trusted a lot of the inbred redneck neighbors I had.

      When your neighbors have played Pokémon to collect all the recessive genes regarding cognition, it’s good to have the government to protect you from their stupidity.
