    it's all well documented and supported by economic principles, there's no magic about it

    I know, but with enough latitude of constuction, it can even sound like good propaganda and rhetoric, to AnCappers.

    many on the right seem to prefer to repeat historical mistakes and claim they are not really like that, afterward.

    Prohibition. Why does the right believe it is bad morality in modern times instead of the Nurture of the proven historical mistake of Prohibition and the social consequences engendered by that Institutional denial and disparagement of Individual Liberty.

    Prohibition is the Cause of our wars on crime, drugs, poverty, and terror. A welfare-State has no need for enemies of the State to perpetuate itself and can simply solve social dilemmas in a market friendly manner.

    We have a Commerce Clause and some on the right claim to believe in voluntary social transactions that may result in mutually beneficial trade; or capitalism. We do not have a Prohibition clause.

    Yes, regulation is not prohibition. we have a Commerce Clause not any form of prohibition clause since the repeal of that known, historical mistake.

    Nor are you allowed to buy a barrel of prostitutes, a ship full of slaves, a murder contract or commit suicide. Those actions are prohibited by law.

    Prohibition is not regulation; and, our federal Congress has a Commerce Clause to work with outside of the federal districts. It helps if you can distinguish between social Commerce and antiSocial behavior.

    Slavery was abolished in the US due to the necessity of using socialism to bailout capitalism like usual; and fixed by the Standard of precedent in our republic. Slavery should have ended through attrition after 1808; since the several States ratified even Article 4, Section 2, which affects natural born persons and citizens in the several States.

    Well regulated militias of Individuals of the People may already have an uninfringed right to keep and bear such Arms, for their State or the Union.

    Only if we have to start using ethics if a moral of "goodwill toward men" fails.

    If you want to quibble, slavery cannot exist under capitalism simply because Capitalism requires voluntary social transactions that should result in mutually beneficial trade.

    Natural rights are secured in State Constitutions with the express terms, inalienable or indefeasible, and that form of socialism simply to preclude forms of non-wage slavery.

    Only well regulated Militias of the People may not be Infringed when keeping and bearing Arms for their State or the Union--not themselves.

    Well, I cannot oppose the concept of natural rights secured in State Constitutions with the express terms, inalienable or indefeasible.

    Why do you believe personal atomic bombs should be available as a form of Commerce to persons who are considered specifically unconnected with militia service, well regulated?
