   Why we have this right.  If any person attempts to or does impose his
will on another by using force of any kind, such as a fist, a big stick, a
gun, a bomb, a missile or any type of weapon it is WRONG.  Using force on
another is wrong because it causes one man to do that which he does not want
to do - it infringes his own liberty - he is not acting freely.  That is
wrong, or unjust, or broken, or evil.  No matter how much it occurs, in this
country or any other, and no matter the scale, it is wrong.  This is not
debatable.  Without the (what the individual deems necessary) means to
defend one's self, a man can not be certain that he will always be able to
act according to his own free will, which he has the right to do.  As with
any other rights we have, to take away this right is wrong.  To impose
restrictions on this right is wrong.  I hold these truths to be self
evident, as did the intellectuals in America in the late 18th century.  Some
things change, some never should.  Thanks

Well said and very libertarian, thank you.
