How is this a libertarian response? Why should
the defense contractor be held responsible for the way someone uses a
weapon after it has been bought? This sounds like Chicago's Mayor
Daley, who is suing gun manufacturers & gun shops to recover money spent
on police
& medical bills due to gun-related crime. Are you suggesting that the
contractor should be sued, or are you suggesting a boycott-type
response? The latter would be more of a
libertarian response, IMO.
Neither a flame nor an attempt to revive the
"Are guns extropian?" thread; just one libertarian seeking clarification
of another's
statement.
