What kind of gun shall we ban next, squirt guns? How about cap guns?

"Well then you are wrong, simply. Most people in the USA actually own guns for entirely legitimate purposes. Criminals are by FAR the minority. Those who DO own guns for the purpose of using them on people generally own them purely for self-protection. The rest are hobbyists/sportsmen/tin can shooters."
I didn't say most gun owners were criminals, I said most have them to use as weapons against other people, which includes self defense against criminals.
"I don't pick and choose. I'm a libertarian - and I argue against all those things that you listed."
So you think it should be allowed to yell bomb in a public airport, fire in a public movie theater, or print a detailed article about how to overthrow the US government and terrorize the people in a newspaper? those are speech and press control. The difference between libertarians and anarchists is anarchists say there should be no laws while Libertarians say that anything that doesn't hurt others should be legal. I think no gun control affects people more negatively that some sensible gun control, in the same way I think about speech or press control.
