What if the police decided to pull you over for having a rocket in the back of your car, and asks you to destroy it? There is no law against having a rocket in your car, but hey, he happened to feel that it was dangerous on that particular day. That IS a big deal. To me, it's the same thing. I can't understand why you think it's not a big deal to get arbitrary over-enforcement. But hey, you're entitled to your opinion. Expressing an opinion on RMR as fact is what gets everyone so riled up about Jerry, isn't it?
And the answer to your second question is NO, I would not arbitrarily give up my rights to make someone else feel safe. People are WAY too sensitive and ignorant about what is really safe and what is not. What if a little old lady in your neighborhood felt unsafe because you have a pack of C motors in your house? Would you give them up? Giving up our rights voluntarily is not safe in the long run.
I've gotten sucked way too far into this argument; I'm not going to continue it any longer. You can feel free to have the last word.

instead of me, I'm willing to give it up.
