The path to tyranny is when the State emphasizes public safety over the individual's right to self defense. The path to freedom is when the opposite is true.
The end doesn't justify the means; in this case, sacrificing an individual for a safe society. It doesn't matter if its well intentioned. Once an individual is sacrificed for the good of the many, the second sacrifice becomes easier. The next much easier than the previous. Soon, the many are scarified for the few: Tyranny.
...and we should ban wild fires for the sake of the environment or we will all die in 10 years.
