Ethics from the Barrel of a Gun

ah, i've read this before! ESR is pretty good on some topics.
A salient point that popped into my brain while reading this:
Many of the anti gun crowd justify their position with the statement, "well, I just don't trust myself posessing such a lethal instrument!" The proper rejointer is, then I assume you will relinquish your driver's license and never get behind the wheel of an automobile again, right?
The antis live on emotion and one-liners. We should be prepared with the ammunition to fire back.
A few years back I read The Cathedral and the Bazaar by ESR and enjoyed it so much that I spent some time reading all his writings on his site. It was his writings on the 2A issue and this essay in particular that actually convinced me that a true intellectual could, and indeed must embrace this issue. I credit ESR with converting me from a Fudd to a 2A advocate and thus opening my eyes to the Libertian movement. Thanks for linking it!
