I stand corrected. I was apparently wrong to imply that you considered yourself to be a Libertarian. But of course you are incorrect to assume that HomelyWizzard's view on Firearms (not any view, his view) would preclude him/her being a Libertarian. It doesn't at all preclude that possibility. In general, many of those calling themselves "Libertarians" in the U.S. hold to a political philosophy that is much closer to what Chomsky has termed 'anarcho-capitalism' than it is to Libertarian philosophy everywhere else in the world. In the National election just completed, this problem of what it means to be a 'Libertarian' in the U.S., was evident in the rift between the 'Libertarian' candidate for President and his running mate.
