oh! i know a method that can achieve this! its called "a gun to the head"-method, and it work incredible when there is no one that restricts the usage of guns.

you really dont think in the absence of government that people would purchase protection against this sort of thing? i mean people pay for cable tv and you dont think they would be willing to pay someone to protect them from being shot in the head?

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

you cant "take out" your competition in a free market. It will be instantly replaced by new competition. The only way you can "take out" the competition is if you can keep out new competition. There is no mechanism that i am aware of for doing this other than the state.

Haven't thought that one through, have you?
there is less gun violence here in the stupid and evil state of Denmark. I have less chance of getting shot then you.
A lower chance of getting shot just increases the chances you will be assaulted with another weapon. Such as a knife. Or a bat.
And you still haven't answered my question.

Here you go.

Evidently not, if you think that no restrictions on guns means that pulling a gun to enforce your opinion will work better, rather than worse.

OK, let's take that assumption. In an armed conflict, the good guys win half the time, the bad guys win the other half. Do you think that there are more bad guys, or good?

Then how can you support the state, given how likely it is that "bad" people will gain positions of power, and oppress the "good" minority?

So, you want to guarantee that the "bad" majority will oppress the "good" minority?

So now you're part of the "good" majority. Since most people are "good," and the odds of winning a fight are equal between the "good" and "bad," What problem do you have with arming everyone?

True, but so are good people, and bad people tend to get guns regardless of laws against them.

Since bad people are going to be armed, anyway, don't you think the good guys should be, too?
