Let's do it for the children...""

“The only freedom deserving the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.” 
                                                                      —John Stuart Mill

When someone tells me that restrictions of our human and civil right of keeping and bearing arms are necessary for "the common good" or  "for the children" or "civilized people" or some such nonsense, I think of this quote from John Stuart Mill.
