  1. Front Matter
  2. Chapter 7, “The Fight for Gun Rights,” is a rather special chapter for me personally. So many times I have invited to libertarian events non-libertarians who I thought had potential in this direction. Often, they enjoyed the formal presentations but were utterly turned off by the meal and break-time discussions. Their comment to me: “Don’t libertarians talk about anything else besides guns?” Here is what our author has to say on this topic: “Why are libertarians so interested in gun rights in particular? On the theoretical level, there is the obvious reason: Libertarians think one should be allowed to own just about anything, as long as it is not stolen and one is not using it to aggress against anyone. In addition, gun rights are under constant attack by politicians from both political parties, so it makes sense for libertarians to vehemently defend these rights. But why the special emphasis? Why do libertarians seem to be disproportionately represented among gun enthusiasts, and vice versa?” Oh, no, I am not going to give away the punch line(s) here. Let me confine myself to saying that no matter how well immersed you are in this subject, you will be glad you perused Huebert’s take on it.
