There are many activities that aren’t permitted or only permitted under license.

Nothing new here.

It’s only mob rule if you don’t like the outcome. Otherwise it’s called democracy.

You can’t have it both ways...

We live in a Constitutional Republic.

The founders were students of history and warned about the tendency of democracies to become tyrannical.

Our constitution protects the rights of individuals. The majority does not have the power in this country under the constitution to infringe on the basic rights of the individual.

If you read the history behind the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution you will find the many of the usurpations of basic rights the founders found intolerable were violations of property rights.
