Yes;
more Individualism, self-reliance, less collectivism,
de-emphasizing and weakening domestic government,
reducing its domestic jurisdiction.

How does that work ?
Being armed is
unrelated to sexuality.
It always has been.
plainoldme wrote:style of dress
Well, I 've usually worn vested suits; carrying guns openly can be awkward,
espeicially in cold, wet weather. It makes sense to return to complete
laissez faire keeping & bearing of guns.
Let the wearer do whatever he pleases,
the same as wearing a watch.
The purpose of the 2nd Amendment was simply to
make it clear that government has
no jurisdiction
in the area of gun possession.
What a citizen wears is none of government 's business.
It remains for the USSC to hold that, when those issues are litigated.

It
ALWAYS has been essential.
Failure to wear guns has resulted in too many unnecessary deaths, because of gun control.

That can be good; its a private decision.

Let's get rid of birth control and return to bungling.
Women, go buy a bustle and corset! And, please, do away with computers,
cell phones, land lines, television, radio, automobiles and planes.
Those matters are
unrelated and
irrelevant to defensive gun possession.
All that is related is:
laissez faire non-jurisdiction qua gun possession,
as it was, up thru the early 1900s, thru out America.
I recommend that violently recidivistic criminals be
ISOLATED
and denied contact with the decent people; (ideally, not on the North American Continent).

Yes; we need to correct and eradicate the errors of liberalism
and replace them with libertarianism!
