Some of the places & times people point to as a cultivator of liberty were some of the ancient Greek city-states, in most of which the free citizens were a small minority. However, that minority worked out a model which was invoked long after as a model for countries with a larger proportion of free persons. >For a long time there were laws like what you are suggesting. rather >than gun rights, it was right to go to the best schools, eat in the >best restaruants, drink for the best fountains, sit in the best part >of the bus, etc... they were rightly looked upon poorly. giving only >one group the right to something is wrong and I will not support it >even if the alternative is that both do not get the right.

You're really saying it's better that the best schools, restaurants, drinking fountains and bus seats be closed by law to all than that SOME people be allowed to use them? I suppose it's better to forbid activities entirely than to license them, then. You really would rather the world outlawed the practice of medicine, the flying of aircraft, the operation of radio transmitters, etc., than that any select few be licensed to do so? I think you're just being oppositional.
