Preparing for the Trip Home
Vin Suprynowicz at Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership - More On nuclear weapons and the 'well-regulated militia' - More good discussion why there can be no restrictions whatsoever on possession of weapons by individuals.
Vin Suprynowicz at Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership - Additional remarks about "On nuclear weapons and the 'well-regulated militia'" - And still more. Includes a comment from a reader that I am realizing is correct. Even convicted felons have the right to protect themselves from criminals. If you think they should lose that right, then you're really saying that all convicted felons should be executed. I agree with you, but not in the way you're thinking. Folks who commit real felonies initiate force against someone. The victim has the right to end the felon's life there and then. [jpfo]
I love this exchange. Here's something else I feel strongly about. I, personally, think that even former criminals, who have paid their debt to society, have the right to defend themselves with whatever type weapon they think is necessary for their personal protection. As long as we are both allowed to exercise the individual right of self-defense, I not going to be afraid of any former criminal with a gun. If he has evil intent, he just better pray I don't get to my forty-five first.
Libertarian Party Press Release - Why Jesse Jackson's Toyota boycott is better than any government remedy - Boycott's are the only moral way to encourage a company to change its business policies. They work, too.
"If Jesse Jackson can persuade you that Toyota is awarding dealerships in a racially biased manner, you can 'vote' for racial justice by refusing to buy a Corolla, a Camry, or an RAV4," said Dasbach. "You can also try to convince your friends and family to join the boycott.
"But if you disagree with the boycott -- and worry that Jackson is a publicity-seeking race baiter who's targeting Toyota because it refused to award lucrative dealerships to his friends -- then you can 'vote' for Toyota by purchasing one of its vehicles. Either way, you as a consumer get to decide who is right."
