However, there are sooo many laws a person could pass to save 'one person' from abuse/harm/murder. If you start passing all these laws you are left without freedoms. Sure, the law does not necessarily violate basic rights, but soon you are living in a authoritarian state that does not trust its citizens. You end up with something like the old Russian Soviet government.

We simply cannot protect everyone. At some point there is personal responsibility. That is one thing I feel helps make America great. We are allowed this responsibility, we are not treated like children or all as suspects. At least that is how I would like to feel.

Well said Chuckles. I agree 100%

Your in line now, but its not moving. Congrats. Im just few days behind ya. Figured I might as well step in line too and hope for the best.
