But I symphatisize with the Gun people in the USA. We have far to many restrictions already in the world, especially here (Germany). Just recently I found out a Gyrocopter isn't much more expensive than my car. My dream was almost in reach. If I won't see back to the future like cars thats the next best thing. Later I found out you can't just land infront of a supermarket or on a parking space. Why can't I have my freedom. There is no need to land it on special places if everybody would use common sense in their landing decision process. Its just illegal because people assume that there will be too many fuck ups. Also where is my right to get high in whichever way I want on my private space not endangering anyone, or brewing my own drug of choice on my property while following all safety and waste regulations. With material I bought from my income I paid taxes for ? There is literally no good reason except that some people can't handle this kind of freedom responsibly. Atleast I can drive as fast as I want when I am on an appropriate street, for now atleast and just on this tiny spot on earth. I am all for gun rights even here in Germany. My friend has guns for hunting (it was a very expensive and time consuming process for him). I don't like it when my freedom or other peoples freedoms have to suffer because some people can't be responsible with theirs.
Sadly I know that there are a lot of humans who can't handle real freedom without fucking up. (Human failure aside). And thus society protects their weak/young/mentaly ill for their and other peoples sake.
Given the choice I would like to give a country a test run where everything is legal. I like the thought that we as humanity someday will mature to a point where we all can handle real freedom without killing ourselfs or others.
But right now or in the future its not an option. Taking away our toys seems like the only way out. TBH I personally would prefer a little more dead people and more freedom but I know that most people wouldn't agree with me.

Freedom is not a good thing in and of itself. Certain freedoms have proven highly beneficial for society, but freedom is not a categorical good.
