WHEREAS, Libertarians affirm that self-defense is an inherent human right; and

 

WHEREAS, the Platform of the Libertarian Party opposes all laws at any level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition; and

 

WHEREAS, the Platform of the Libertarian Party affirms the right of due process and denydenies the legitimacy of laws against “victimless "crimes”; and

 

WHEREAS, the governments in the United States have has steadily encroached upon these rights by illegitimately regulating and restricting access for to firearms and ammunition and may further seek to deprive people who have been convicted of no crime of their inherent right to full abrogate civil rights, and indeed the basic human right, to self-defense by prohibiting access denying their civil and inherent rights to obtain firearms and ammunition even in cases where a person has not been convicted of any crime; and

 

WHEREAS some recent statements by Libertarian candidates appearing in the media have the potential to cause confusion among members of the public regarding how Libertarians view these issues;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee opposes any law or policy which would deny or restrict any person's access to any firearms or ammunition to any person simply for being placed as a result of their name appearing on any a government watch or no-fly list, and reaffirms its call to repeal both our party's opposition to any further and oppose any existing or proposed regulations on firearms and ammunition as described above and our demand that all such existing regulations be repealed, and calls upon Libertarian candidates to uphold our party's pro-freedom stance.
