Until the majority of gun owners are willing to allow others the liberty to pursue their own interests, even those we may not like, freedom will keep withering away.

Excuse me, Kent? Your post is a mite short on specifics.

What, exactly, are the majority of gun owners unwilling to allow others the liberty to pursue?

Are you talking about the Zumbos and Fudds who shoot shotguns but have no problem banning handguns and military rifles?

Or is this a reference to drugs?

It isn't a "specific" topic. It is a reference to everything that we as gun owners may cheer being restricted, even if it harms no one other than the person choosing to do it. Drugs, prostitution, machine guns, whatever.
Aggression stemming from those things should still be punished, of course. Recognize, though, that the prohibition actually causes most of the violence associated with prohibited behaviors and things.
Let people pursue their own happiness, just as we pursue ours, and stand up for their rights to do so. It may not be popular, but it is the right thing to do.

The Philosophy of Liberty flash animation is a creation of the late Lux Lucre. I snarfed his entire Flash animation directory right after he died to ensure that it wouldn't be lost. It includes The Philosohpy of Liberty in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, L. Neil Smith's "The Atlanta Declaration" in English, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese, a rendition of the Zero Aggression Principle, and a few others.

Check it out at billstclair.com/luxlucre (the "Bill of Rights animation was missing at his site when I sampled it).
