No, Libertarianism is mostly egoism mixed with post-adolescent paranoia (why ARE you people so obsessed with guns?).
I dunno, try asking the people who are obsessed with taking them away.
Mostly because scary libertarians up in Idaho seem intent to use them to their fullest potential...
Actually no, I'm not anti-libertarian; I just have a very different view of human beings than most libertarians do (not necessarily a 'pro-statist' one, but one which is less dependant on
homo economicus; I think this is why libertarianism has never really had much of a following outside the US and a certain type of 20something intellectual.)
