What right do you as a fellow American have to determine what I can and cannot do, own or say?

In todays more control oriented police state in the making, I want to know what gives some Americans the "right" to determine what other Americans can do, own or say. Especailly concerning the LAWFUL ownership, use and keeping of fireamrs, who can marry whome, and whether or not a woman can have an abortion?

    Its called morals or the lack of. Reach deep down to your moral core and tell everyone which is right and moral and which is not of your above examples. This is why we are becoming a "police state in the making" as you put it. We refuse to see right and wrong. We all know what the difference is we just refuse to see it because it has been twisted by our own political Representatives. Any attempt to ask people to be more moral is immediately shot down.

    I have a right to my opinion on all three issues you mentioned. That is as far as that goes!

    I have no right to tell anyone else what to do, or say, or think, Unless it harms my person then I have the right to kick your butt
