Unqualified Offerings: “Self-defense is about as basic a right as one can conceive. The argument for abridging it via gun control was pragmatic–gun controllers promised that restricting effective self-defense by limiting civilian gun ownership would increase public safety. It doesn’t. It’s not enough that it doesn’t measurably decrease public safety, because gun control is itself a harm in principle. If it provided a compelling practical benefit we could have an interesting debate over whether principle or praxis should tell. But it doesn’t even have the excuse of working.”
