Parents Fatally Shot While Children Slept...

Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority officials are fighting to keep a weapons ban on their properties, but say for now it's a losing battle. [More]
Yeah, no kidding.

certainly this is just as tragic as any other story like it, and certainly the family should have done the right thing and kept a gun in the house despite their tenancy contract. however, case in point.

it ain't that smart, but there is nothing un-libertarian about voluntarily entering into slavery contracts, let alone a tenancy contract that disarms you. free to be stupid.

and there is a contract, and both tenants and housing authority representatives sign it in their own name.

there is no fat cat who was 137th in line from the first family representative for apartment #507 who stops by every few months to kiss babies, wave flags, sign for the newest family moving in to that unit without their consent or knowledge.

he doesn't then later in the year 1) send them unsolicited mail demanding tribute, 2) invade their privacy to "inspect" their firearms, 3) kidnap their children for "protection," 4) "forfeit" their assets for being the wrong substance.

for this is effectively hereditary rule, and the treatment of the "represented" is that of the tyrannized.
