Disclaimer: The author does well, considering his audience, and makes many good points, but fails miserably when he emptily asserts that "no right is 'God-given' or 'natural'", although what is really meant, as shown by the following paragraphs, is that (he asserts) rights will always be infringed (a fundamental right vs. power disconnect), and brings up the old canard of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater as a limitation on free speech when, really, it is, as Murray Rothbard points out, instead about an infringement of property rights for theatergoers and owner.
In fact, his answer to his own question, "So, the right to own guns is a fundamental political right, and guns don’t cause psychosis-driven mass shootings, therefore no regulations, right?" is so weak as to practically be a mere sop to leftist readers (most of whom, if they got that far, would be frothing at the mouth at this point), sort of a "Oh, but I have a black friend!" disclaimer after a discourse on the superiority of the Aryan race, as if that would negate any of the foregoing.
Thus, with those failures, this is not a voluntaryist paper per se, but in the vein of being a leftist's arguments (and insight) against many of, if not all of, the errors of the left, it is a document that may be helpful for voluntaryists.
The Rifle on the Wall: A Left Argument for Gun Rights
The article is broken into sections as follows:
The Fundamental Political Principle - denying the state the monopoly on armed force (although acknowledging a supremacy, which is a problem, of course, but defines the state and to deny that would be to deny the state itself, an excellent end).
Guns, Gun Rights, and Liberal "Pacifism" - "the casual “imaginary pacifism” that crops up repeatedly as a constituent of American liberal ideology" … "The vast majority of American liberals – like persons of all other groups – while they want to live peaceful lives, free of violence, for themselves and everyone else in the world, support the use of armed force in defense of themselves, their loved ones, and some political agenda or another." (Or, as Dale Everett puts it in Anarchy in Your Head, "So you're not really anti-gun. You're pro-elitism!".)
Gun Rights and The Prohibition Impulse - "[G]uns are to liberals what drugs are to conservatives."
Gun Rights and the American State - back to false liberal pacifism: "[A]nti-gun-rights liberals, besides not really being pacifists, are not really proposing to eliminate guns at all. Is there one liberal gun-control proposal being put forward that makes the teensiest move toward diminishing the use of guns, including military-style assault weapons, by the police? … its corporate militia comrades?"
Recent Objections and the Contentious History of Gun Rights in America - addresses the lie and irrelevancy that "the real intent of the authors of the Second Amendment was to preserve slavery"; Jim Crow infringing gun rights, etc.
Gun Rights and the Dynamics of Radical or Revolutionary Contestation - while small arms may not necessarily defeat the state, "[a] modicum of armed power among the citizenry may not exactly equalize, but can noticeably recalibrate, the correlation of forces."
Don’t we have to save the children? - addresses the drug issue and related issues.
