Good point.

My Personal Opinion: If the people who live there wish to give up their individual rights, let them, but do not make other who wish to preserve the freedoms and liberties we are entitled to, also give up theirs.

It's somewhat the same problem as that of restricting the gun rights of the mentally ill, which people on our side often suggest as an alternative to gun bans in the aftermath of rampage shootings. Yes, OK, there may be reasons why a given population is more likely, statistically, to abuse those rights. But individuals, even if they're members of a "risky" population, ought not to be deprived of their rights without some form of due process; to allow this is to put the rights of all of us at risk.
