What I Have To Deal With
L. Neil Smith at The Libertarian Enterprise - Neil responds to a self-professed libertarian who thinks he has the right to be protected by the state from his irrational fear of guns. I don't know what kind of political animal he is really, but it certainly isn't any kind of libertarian.
Wanna hear a couple facts--that can be confirmed in five minutes by poking around the Internet? The country with the highest violent crime rate in the world is Australia, immediately after the wave of gun confiscation that followed the so-called Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania, an event almost certainly engineered to have the desired result.
Wanna know who's next? Great Britain, again following what was probably a politically contrived attack by some handy cold-storage lunatic.
Here's the kicker: if you remove from statistical consideration the inner cores of American cities that have been under the control of the socialists who call themselves liberals, and liberal policies like gun control, for countless decades, you'll find that this is the most peaceful, prosperous, and progressive nation human history has ever seen.
