@sharpie443 Regulation is a fancy way of saying, "do what I say or I'll stick you in a cage and steal your kids."

[FlailingJunk]

Preserving life, liberty and property is important, but regulation by a violent monopoly is never legitimate.

@geoedwar84 Companies profit off of war. In a market society you would have an extreme amount of competition and scramble for natural resources since you would be producing goods for profit and not human need. If you need some rare mineral found in southern Asia, and the people living there don't exactly want their homes dug up, your company would resort to militarism to force them off.

I obviously don't know much about this. However, you know 99% of parents feed their chidren, why try to make it 100%?

[geoedwar84]

@sharpie443 In a market society there would be no profit in building nukes or weapons that are meant to kill and maim. Rather, if you are self interested, you would produce goods that have value to others.

You are begging the question of government if you say the government should exist to prohibit the non-market goods that the government itself creates.

@sharpie443 "Possibility of wrongful action X"

You're still rationalizing prohibition based upon something someone has not done. You are telling others what they may or may not own based upon your own preferences, your own opinion has been made into law.

Once you do that, there is no limit.

[sharpie443]

@CurtHowland It's not just an issue of what they might do it's a function of (Possibility of wrongful action X possible damage inflicted) Having a .22Lr opposed to a nuclear weapon is different for that reason. The Government is allowed to have howitzers and nukes because we all have a say in when there used. Even if it has more to do with public opinion that an actual vote.

[CurtHowland]

@sharpie443 "If I say went off the deep end."

If you rationalize prohibition solely upon what people might do, you have rationalized the entirety of the leviathan state.

Because there are people who would say that you "might" use your rifle to kill innocent people, you therefore cannot be trusted with it.

You said that fear of someone's possible actions is justification for prohibition, so you have no room to object to people doing it to you.

[sharpie443]

@CurtHowland I have an H&K G3 in .308 that is a lot of firepower but It's unlikely that I could actually do a massive amount of damage with it. If I say went off the deep end. If someone had a 75mm howitzer in there back yard or a LAW sitting on the shelf they could decide to that puppy on the local school or there work place or even city hall. No need for that. I have not completely lost faith in the judicial system to deal with grievances. I don't need a towed artillery.

[CurtHowland]

@hellsunicorn The only homeschoolers I've met who in fact did support the concept of public school for "other people" were cool-aid-drinking Democrats.

Obama is great, Anthrogenic Global Warming, hoplophobia, the whole 9 yards. Just that when it came to their own kids, they knew the public schools were no good. For them.

Deeply frightening just how much cognitive dissonance one brain can sustain.

[CurtHowland]

@sharpie443 "I don't think we should let people have a howitzer in the back yard."

In that case, you do NOT understand liberty. You merely like freedom for yourself, not others.

[CurtHowland]

@sharpie443 "but there are some religious fringe groups that need watching."

First they came for the religious fringe groups...?

No. Coercion is wrong, period. I will not even condone it because I think it's rationalized for what I think is a "good reason". That's just the ends justifying the means.

No one lives in a vacuum. When even isolated "fringe" kids go out to get a job, they will be exposed to different ideas and explanations.

You can't force someone to believe. Persuade, instead.
