You don't want your freedoms infringed? Don't infringe on others.
Don't want a pit bull, don't get one.
One trespasses on your property, kill it.
Hold owners accountable, a lot of people won't own them.
Let the market rule.
Pretty simple

Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.
