You live in civilization -- that's a choice you made. You adhere to a social contract. Your liberty after a certain point takes a back seat. This shouldn't need explaining.
And yet here I am having to needlessly explain that that's only necessary when the chance of those externalities is severe enough to warrant this consideration.
As I've shown in this thread, that's not the case, and the dangers you're all supposedly worried about aren't actually real dangers.
But you've all confused shouldn't with can't (whether intentionally or otherwise), and your moral superiority complexes over people having the audacity to make stupid decisions won't let you acknowledge that.
