In a free society, the individual has the legal right to own or carry abroad any weapon he chooses, except the intrinsically unsafe weapon. This is one that cannot possibly be used without injury to innocent bystanders. Even governments have no right to own such a weapon. The popular objection that an "assault" weapon is designed to kill people misses the main point. What else, other than hunting, would any liberty loving person want a weapon for? To kill flies? It is not flies who invade countries and private homes to rape, torture, and murder. It is people who do that.

 

The individual has the natural right not to be treated as a criminal before the fact of committing a crime. Owning a weapon is not evidence of intent. In a free society, it is up to the individual to decide what measures he will enact to insure the safety of his own person or home. These decisions must be made based upon his individual expectations about other people and the future of his country, and must not be usurped by "optimistic" pacifists who would slavishly thirst to lick the boots of an invading enemy rather than to ever resist anything. Observe that these cowardly collectivist life managers would gladly see their oppressive confiscatory laws enforced using deadly coercion if necessary by government bully-boys with guns. Learn well the names of the true enemies of liberty who reside within your own country.

 

Any individual advocating the confiscation or undue regulation of safe weapons in the hands of responsible citizens is a clear traitor to the country in which he lives. Such a person is guilty of treason, and will by liberty loving individuals, be dealt with as such immediately, using whatever means are available. Any government attempting to deny it's citizens the right to purchase and bear arms has been subverted, and will, by courageous spirited people, be thrown down immediately, using any degree of force necessary.
