The point should be self-evident, but I'll try. What is it that you like to do, want to do or enjoy doing that, were one special interest group or another were to manage to have a law passed against it, (the point of the gun) that it would cause you distress? It is compulsory that we do not kill another human being, that we do not violate anothers natural property rights nor interfere in anothers activities as long as that person is not harming another (and acts of mutual consent do not apply here). The above are in keeping with the natural goodness of our natures, not to say that many do not violate their own natures on a regular basis. Those would would pass into law compulsory measures, for example. ML Duke
