How much control over our lives is just enough to keep us safe yet not restrict our freedom .?

Question

Some would say standing in line at the airport for three hours and having our phones tapped and cameras on every corner to prevent crime and stop terrorism is acceptable .
Others would like to go much further by forcing people to obtain a license to own or purchase materials that could be used in making weapons .
We already restrict how much sudafed one can purchase .
Will ammo be restricted to 20 rounds soon . Will my right to bare arms be infringed all for the so called good of all people .

Once a line is drawn it seems as if it keeps moving in a direction away from freedom and more towards repression .

If torture works great for stopping terrorists then how long till its used to make say a child pornographer to provide a client list .
A drug dealer to give up the names of his suppliers .
Or maybe the mechanic that modified the engine in your car when we have chips installed to prevent people from exceeding 85 mph ending high speed police chases .
Where is a good line drawn

Answer 1

I think the bill of rights protects us adequately. If it does not violate our constitutional rights, it is fine by me.

I think restricting ammo violates the 2nd amendment but phone tapping and cameras in public areas are reasonable. I do not think American citizens should be tortured under any circumstances.

Answer 2

so, I don't need to wear a bullet proof vest, my shirt has a right to be seen and exposed. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
