Subject: The Right to Keep and Bear Arms
National Platform of the Libertarian Party
Adopted in Convention, July 2, 2006, ****tland Oregon
http://www.lp.org/issues/platform_all.shtml
I.6 The Right to Keep and Bear Arms
The Issue: Governments at all levels often violate their citizens' right
of self defense with laws that restrict, limit or outright prohibit the
owner****p and use of firearms. These "gun control" laws are often
justified
by the mistaken premise that they will lead to a reduction in the level of
violence in our society.
The Principle: The Bill of Rights recognizes that an armed citizenry is
essential to a free society. We affirm the right to keep and bear arms.
Solutions: We oppose all laws at any level of government restricting,
regulating or requiring the owner****p, manufacture, transfer or sale of
firearms or ammunition. We oppose all laws requiring registration of
firearms or ammunition. We sup****t repeal of all gun control laws. We
demand
the immediate abolition of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Transition: We oppose any government efforts to ban or restrict the use of
tear gas, "mace" or other self-protection devices. We further oppose all
attempts to ban weapons or ammunition on the grounds that they are risky
or
unsafe. We 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") and semi-automatic or so-called
assault
weapons and their magazines or feeding devices.
