60. We have to agree to disagree there...
In my opinion a person's rights are infringed only when such an infringement actually occurs, not when the potential is there. Restricting or limiting a person's rights should be an absolute worst-case scenario. I'd rather deal with culprits who decide to infringe the rights of others than desperately try to keep each and every person 100% safe with preventative measures.

Of course, I also don't believe in helmet laws and I'm for complete drug legalization. So I guess I do have a nasty libertarian streak. :evilgrin:
