A year ago Texas starting allowing guns on campus.  Today a student killed a police officer on campus.

So the shootings on campus where guns aren't allowed mean those campuses should have guns?

But ... but ... but ... if everyone had a gun, then these shootings wouldn't happen.

We shouldn't have any laws.

I mostly agree. Good people don't need laws to behave in a manner that respects the rights of others. Bad people don't give a shit.

In this case im not sure how anyone could have predicted this and im actually surprised its not getting more coverage.  
I recall another case on the opposite ends of the spectrum i think was also in Texas where a woman who had a legal carry permit was raped withing yards of the campus police station because she was following the no carry on campus policy and was unarmed.  Same man who raped her eventually killed another woman.  
Just interesting how people only see the side of the argument that suits their opinion.

Amazing how even the least authoritarian (in theory) groups are fragmented collectives that hate eachother. Libertarian twitter has been hilarious the past few months. There might be more cliques within the libertarian/anarchist collective than in the traditional liberal and conservative groups. Anarchists hate minarchists and minarchists hate small state libertarians and small state libertarians hate libertarian leaning conservatives.

My wife approves of your debating strategy.

Ha.  I'm just jerking you around. 

Some people on here do appear to advocate what seems to be very close anarchist ideology.  I've said on here before that I don't understand the appeal of that.

Exaggeration is effective with point making me thinks.  From time to time.

not sure about the wisdom of debating with the wife tho.

It's pointless in political theory though. What ideology isn't ridiculous when taken to the extreme?

None.  But the idea being discussed is extreme.  So I gave a real world extreme example.

Most of our transactions require nothing from the State. Somalia was a bad reference. To my knowledge, it is an undereducated population, void of Western principles.
