>I'm okay with adults being inconvenienced if it means we can protect children. That's a standard we've had in America for generations.
Lol yes a standard used to violate and restrict rights. It's literally a meme: "Think of the Children!"

By your logic, we should allow the government to search our phones, computers, cars, emails, etc before buying alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs because "it might save just one child!".
Don't pretend the left wing is any better about this particular issue, though. It's the libertarian checks-and-balances constructs built into our form of our government that's resisted this sort of totalitarianism, not the principles of mercurial politicians.
