The demand for gun confiscation rests on the breathtakingly naïve belief that criminals -- whether in Iraq, the United States or anywhere else -- will obediently turn in their weapons, Neale added.

"If Saddam's henchmen wanted to surrender their guns to an occupying army they would have done so already," he said. "And if criminal gangs don't comply with laws against looting, murder and kidnapping they certainly won't comply with a new gun regulation.

"This weapons ban will just make all of their jobs easier by disarming their potential victims."

AMEN. A brilliant commentary from the Libertarian party.

Bravo.

I sometimes think it's a shame that, given the rest of their platform and the damage I believe a Libertarian sweep would bring with it, that I could never cast a vote for one.

Sounds to me like Iraq needs to add a 2nd ammendment to their constitution.
