    I think you mean "your right to freedom end where another person's rights begin"

    This means that you can't have complete freedom. If you could do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted to do it, then everyone else would be subject to your rights. They would have no rights of their own. You could take anything of theirs at any time.

    This is why freedom is a balance of rights such that everyone can live together. You have a right to private property, so another person can't have a right to take your property. You have a right to choose who you associate with, so another person can't force you to have sex with them.

    Lets see some of our rights include, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and right to bear arms.

    Hate speech laws and political correctness are direct violations of free speech.

    Constantly attacking the credibility of Fox news or banning them from news conferences because they don't share the same political view is a violation of freedom of the press.

    Banning diseenters (because they are said to be disruptive) from town hall meetings is a violation of freedom of assembly.

    Constantly enacting new weapons bans and regulations are violations of the right to bear arms.

    I'm not sure, but I think you are trying to say that a persons rights should not infringe on someone else's. That's where a grey area in politics resides.

    For instance, laws were recently passed in Tennessee allowing people to carry firearms into bars. This can be seen as one persons right to bear arms infringing on another persons right to property. Should the bar owner be allowed to say who brings a gun into their establishment and who doesn't? That's one of those questions that everyone has to answer for themselves.

    I may be incorrect, but I think you mean the phrase that our freedoms end where others' freedoms begin. Basically we're free to do what we want as long as that doesn't infringe on the rights of others to do likewise. An example might be that I'm free to play my stereo as loud as I like, as long as it doesn't disturb my neighbors.
