Here We Go Again
L. Neil Smith at The Libertarian Enterprise - unless we're really lucky, and Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination and the presidency, 2009 could require a hard fight against the Brady Bunch. Maybe even a bloody fight. Neil reminds us of what the penalties ought to be for any kind of victim disarmament. [tle]
Likewise, it ought to be a felony for anyone in the government (I consider corporations, in this context, to be extensions of the government; they would be subject to this law, as they ought to be made subject to the Bill of Rights) to possess or operate any device intended for, or capable of, the detection of weapons on an individual's person. Let's think clearly here: the Founding Fathers didn't want to play games about the definition of the word "search", they simply didn't want the government to know what we have in our pockets.
And if we're really serious about "the security of a free state", then perhaps we need to institute a death penalty for politicians who agitate for gun control or any other blatant violation of the Bill of Rights.
If any of this seems radical or extreme to you, never forget this basic truth: the only reason anyone ever has for wanting to steal your guns is that they're planning to do something to you your guns could prevent.
