Boyd,
The issue is "credible threat". If your example (of a pointed
gun) is one of such, then ok. But if it tries to be an analogy
for the Iraq War, it fails.

"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

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.

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.
