Freedom, in my opinion, is giving the citizens full control over the country.
To be free...That would cause a lot of chaos. The definition of Free is: Not under the control or in the power of another; able to act or be done as one wishes.
Now at first, sure it sounds fun, everyone can do whatever the fuck they want whenever they want, however they want, with whatever they want, and with whomever they want to do it with, Etc.
But let's look at it from the smart persons point of view. Being free, includes the following: You are now able to take anything you want from anyone without any interference from an outside party(The Law) It's just you, and the other person. Taking things include: Life, credit for something, and any material object, and some other stuff.
That would cause some chaos. If America was truly a free country, it'd be the most dangerous country you'd try to live in. It would be Anarchy. Because there would be no government to make things go round. Everyone would be there own President over what they do.
So let's NOT be free. Let's have some order and some laws to keep people from running around doing whatever the hell they want.
And now it sorta sounds like I was contradicting what I said before in this thread, wherever that post may be. Anyways, I said in it, that Gun Laws wouldn't help. What I mean now is, the law itself wouldn't help, unless the punishment behind said law, was more intimidating. INTIMIDATE THE MASSES. No one fucks up.
So yeah, no freedom. I'd rather be under communist rule. At least I can walk the streets and not have to worry about a lunatic killing people, or in this case, I can go to the movies, and not have to worry about dying.
