Fire is way too dangerous. Many people use fire for very bad purposes. Fire should remain restricted and only be allowed under government licensing.

Even if most people know how to take precautions from fire, a few irresponsible and dangerous individuals are enough to restrict the use for the general public. Imagine letting your kids around fire! The horror!
Just yesterday a woman was burned at her own home by using her gas furnace. More than 50.000 accidents involving fire take place everyday in our country. Thousands of forest acres are burning right now all around the planet! Fire destroys lives! It eliminates our children’s future! It eradicates dreams and hopes! We should fight fire together for a better tomorrow!

Now replace the word fire with “drugs”, “guns”, “knives” and you will understand how the government spreads fear by using a sensationalist narrative. Just because something can cause problems for some people, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the government or anyone else should step up to “protect” you.
Most of our liberties are restricted due to fear mongering and we are the ones responsible for this, not the government. The politicians that raise these restrictions for us are only doing their job. They are representing the people's’ wishes. Talk to each other about your problems. Express your fears and worries. The more we fear things around us the more we end up strapping chains on our own ankles.

Anarchy is a state of mind, not something to rebel against the “Bad Government”. The “Bad Government” is your neighbor, your brother, your sister, your friends. Only through communication and setting examples can one overcome this desperate need for safety. Laws against fire, drugs or guns protect people as much as the 1 meter fence in front of your house protects you against thieves. It is useless. Regulations create the illusion of safety, and the illusion is much more dangerous than reality itself.
