Then the person who points a gun at you and says he is going to kill you is perfectly safe from any kind of retaliation until he actually shoots you and kills you. Sounds stupid to me. But if that is what you believe then more power to you, just stop saying that such stupidity is libertarian. > This is why the oath should be exactly as I wrote it.

Who you regard as non-libertarians, and actual libertarians; and actual libertarian philosophy and what you call libertarian philosophy are very different things. In many cases polar opposites.
