Today is National Ammo Day! November 19th of every year is National Ammo Day! Celebrate the your right to defend yourself by buying an extra 100 rounds of ammunition today. Reloaders can participate too! The goal is to put ammunition in the hands of law-abiding citizens, and at the same time send a message to anti-gun individuals and organizations.
http://www.AmmoDay.com/ Here is the LP's Platform position on guns: -------- 1.7 Self-Defense: "The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights -- life, liberty, and justly acquired property -- against aggression. This right inheres in the individual, who may agree to be aided by any other individual or group. We affirm the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and oppose the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of self-defense. Private property owners should be free to establish their own conditions regarding the presence of personal defense weapons on their own property. We oppose all laws at any level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition. -------- Libertarians, like other Americans, want to be able to walk city streets safely and be secure in their homes. We also want our Constitutional rights protected, to guard against the erosion of our civil liberties. In particular, Libertarians want to see all people treated equally under the law, as our Constitution requires. America's millions of gun owners are people too. Law-abiding, responsible citizens do not and should not need to ask anyone's permission or approval to engage in a peaceful activity. Gun ownership, by itself, harms no other person and cannot morally justify criminal penalties. Read more from our gun rights flyer: http://web.archive.org/web/20000815070723/http://www.lp.org/issues/gun-rights.html Libertarians generally believe the right to keep and bear arms should be an inviolable concept. Therefore, we: - Oppose all laws at any level of government restricting, regulating, registering or requiring the ownership, manufacture, transfer, or sale of firearms or ammunition; - Oppose any bans or restrictions on the sale or carry of tear gas, "mace," or other self-protection devices; - Support repeal of the National Firearms Act of 1935; - Call for the repeal of the Federal Gun Control Act of 1968; - Call for the abolition of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; and - Favor the repeal of laws banning the concealment of weapons or prohibiting pocket weapons. We also oppose the banning of inexpensive handguns ("Saturday night specials"). Want to discuss the Libertarian position on gun rights?
