it's a warlord approach

your freedom ends where it interferes with others freedoms. It's called living in a society. Either there is no point in living peacefully in a community and respecting others needs and freedoms.

Your approach might work on an archipelago, a desert or a wild mountain range, but it's probable you'll be at constant war with your neighbours. It doesn't work in a crowded modern industrial DEMOCRATIC nation.

Example :

My freedom says that your guns are dangerous and threaten me an my family, therefore they should be banned

My freedom says that your religion is obscene and its interference with daily matters and society a threat to my way of living. Therefore your religion should be confined to your church and private sphere. In any case it can't be used as a motive to pass law.

Sorry MAJORITY RULE is THE RULE as long as the minority has a right to express its demands and the guaranteed possibility by elections to change the majority rule.
