You are aware of the fact that we live in a constitutional republic, and not a "democracy" correct? Under the US constitution there is no tyranny of the 51% over the other 49. We do not have mob rule in America. It doesn't matter if the majority of the American people what belongs to me against my will. The American constitution prevents people like you from banding together and having a vote on who gets my truck. When I say they, I'm talking about YOU, and people like you in positions of authority. You should try answering the questions I ask, instead of pulling back to the tired old liberal defense mechanisms. How much is to much? If you think there is a line they wont cross once you empower them to cross whichever lines they like, where do you imagine that line to be?
