What do libertarians think about gun control?
MY SHORT ANSWER: Firearms, like fists, can be used for offense or defense. Libertarians would not advocate cutting off a person’s access to firearms any more than they would advocate cutting off a person’s hands to prevent a brawl. Most people who advocate gun control do so because they believe it lowers the crime rate.

What is the Libertarian Party’s position on abortion?
How to get there: The Libertarian Party is known to be the pro-choice party on every issue. The party’s view is that government should not decide what medical procedures we elect to do.
