There are two ways humans can interact with each other. 1 is coercion by force and 2 is by rational, logical persuasion.
I carry a gun to eliminate, or dissuade, people from choosing option #1. By eliminating their ability to use force, I am causing them to interact with me through logic and reason.
I do not carry a gun because I want to use force, I carry a gun to PREVENT coercion by force. My gun PREVENTS coercion by force. Perhaps that's why the cops are so opposed to armed citizens...

@Zen5012 Okay Gandhi - maybe you're right....maybe instead of police using "force" to stop criminals (they do exist in this imperfect world), perhaps they can bake people apple pies and hand out sundaes with cherries on top - including the freestaters who tout their own open carry guns around, which of course are only displayed because it's their right....certainly not for any force or intimidation. Right.

Because the world will never improve until people realize that force is never a valid means to societal organization.
Until that point, we will continue to give men with badges and guns the ability to use force as a means to get the populace to abide by the bullshit edicts of a handful of "politicians".
If you don't give a shit, if you're lost that far, then so be it. Morality does matter in this world. You can reply to this comment and have the last word.

@Zen5012 Good God what is this? Are you that desperate for the last word? MOVE ON....you're acting just like a nagging cop that you ordinarily would ask to get away. You don't know a single thing about me, other than a quick judgment based on a youtube page, and you sit there high and mighty telling me what I don't own, what you think I cannot do etc. - as if you're pseudo intellect is superior simply because I don't interpret the life the same way as you do. I could care less what you think.

You don't own your labor so therefore you are not free.
You cannot choose the best means of protecting what is yours so therefore you are not free.
You cannot tell The State no when they pass a law you disagree with so therefore you are not free.
Free is voluntary interactions.
Free is not being coerced by force to abide by the dictates of demigods.
You go ahead and enjoy your illusion of freedom. If it makes you happy, more power to you.
Some of us see the truth though.

@Zen5012 WHY.....are you choosing to banter about with your drivel with someone who clearly disagrees with you? I can't be any more clear - I am free.....while you too are just as free to either sit at home building your cross to carry around, or to take part in a multitude of opportunities available that so many others can only dream about. But feel free to reply again....try to "WIN" with me blathering your BS that I have heard and replied to on Ridley vids about a thousand times *yawn*

And, actually, my office was having network issues so those were double posts, bucky.
You honestly believe that a violent monopoly is the best means to getting fucking streetlights? That's sad my man. Keep supporting cops no matter what - they're people too right?
Exactly. They're just humans. Their costume doesn't allow them to do things that are considered wrong, immoral and illegal when anyone else does them.
Fucking statists.
-
Then fuck it. There's no reason to discuss this with someone who is so enamored with the system that they have no issue with guns being used as a tool of societal organization.
If you're fine with initiating force against other human beings then you are a lost soul. Your humanity has been claimed, stamped, id'd, documented and cataloged by the state a long time ago.
Deal with a government laying claim to your body? Okay, I am dealing with it. you, however, are accepting it.
-
@Zen5012 I....am free. I go where I want, when I went - and at no time has anyone from the government "forced" me into a cage. If your bitching about taxes...then when can I tell you - that is life - deal with it. Until then - perhaps you can dream up a way to pay for roads, streetlights and the other million things we as Americans take for granted everyday. I imagine your own cage experiences are a result of something far more nefarious than a tax issue however. Either way - I..don't..care

@Zen5012 Are you sure you like THIS comment I am replying to? I mean...you deleted the two others - just want to make sure. Anyways - yes...that is my attitude - what other attitude would one expect me to have with a person who whines they aren't free, yet - is so selfish you can't even realize how truly free you are, since you just cited other places that are worse. Keep your chin up Bucky - maybe you'll just die soon and be FREE
LIbertarian activism is nothing more than a deaf, dumb, and blind circle jerk.
If you're so concerned about freedom and human rights, how about quit the selfish shit and start helping people in countries that need it.

Following the advice of your opponents generally leads to the place your opponent wants you to be.
