A pretty good isolated example is their assault on the 2nd amendment with laws that aren’t in any way effective at reducing gun crime and leaves people who obey the laws, however ill conceived, unarmed and defenseless. Gun-free zones are more accurately called self defense-free zones. The liberals in Oregon have removed state preemption with respect to gun laws, so municipalities, even schools can create “gun-free zones” and a mother who has a concealed carry permit, can become a felon for dropping her child at school while carrying her weapon.

That is a perfect example of losing a freedom, one with potentially fatal consequences if she’s unarmed when a murderer drops by school and starts shooting people and she could have stopped it, or she’s parking downtown and attacked in the parking structure. That’s just one absolutely clear example of democrat leadership taking liberties, and for very stupid, non-effective reasons. Well, maybe effective in pandering to their ideological, ignorant base and their own ignorant “we know what’s best for you stupid rednecks” mentality.
