Gun control is kinda like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.

London, last week, was a glaring example of this!

If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force.

Can't I just pay you?

Reason or force, that’s it.

Nice world! (Not really.)

I'd rather live in a free country, where you and I get to choose freely whether we want to interact or not, and where force (not reason) is deployed against those who by their actions threaten that freedom.

I would add money as a separate category with reason and force. I wouldn’t put money under reason. How many times have you done something unreasonable because your boss asked you to do it?

A well written article in the style of Thomas Sowell. Short, well written, to the point, and impossible to refute.

If you do not own an assault weapon by now, you are a moron.
