Libertarians
A New Dawn for Freedom
You Have the Right to Own a Gun
The Supreme Court has spoken: The Right to keep and bear arms is an individual right of every American. We're the Libertarian Party. We're the one political party that has always stood up for your Second Amendment Rights, and against Federal, State and local efforts to take away your rights.
“Gun control” laws are often justified by claiming that they will reduce violent crime. In fact, gun-free Britain has far more violent crimes relative to its population than America does, including crimes almost unknown in America, such as home invasion. The Principle: The Bill of Rights recognizes that an armed citizenry is essential to a free society. We affirm the right to keep and bear arms. Solutions: All state, Federal, and local laws unreasonably restricting the ownership, manufacture, transfer, or sale of firearms and ammunition should be repealed. We oppose all laws forcing you to register your guns or your ammunition.
We support Vermont concealed carry — if you are an adult, you are entitled to own and carry firearms and other weapons.
We support the repeal of all laws that prevent responsible people from owning and using firearms. Our legislators should bring our laws into agreement with the Supreme Court's rulings.
How do we get from here to there? We oppose Federal and State efforts to ban or restrict the use of tear gas, "mace" or other self-protection devices. We oppose all attempts to ban weapons or ammunition on the grounds that they were made in the wrong year, or use the wrong color plastic in their construction.
We oppose banning inexpensive handguns ("Saturday night specials"). Those are the weapons that are most affordable to our fellow Americans most in need of protection—America's poor.
Support the political party that supports your right to keep and bear arms.

From Our Chair
Political Change is possible. But if you want political change in America, you need to help bring it. Change will not happen by itself. It will only happen when you and your friends choose to get involved in politics.
Help build a better America.
Protect your right
to keep and bear arms.
Join the Libertarian Party!
And a closing thought:
Our Overworked Police—
Too Valuable to Waste
Too many American cities are not safe by night. Too many serious crimes go unsolved and unpunished. Our police are overworked.
'Too many' has a common cause.
Muggers, rapists, and home invaders know that it is safe to prey on an unarmed citizenry. They prey on us, because they have guns and many of our fellow citizens do not.
An armed citizenry will be a safe citizenry, because your average hoodlum is smart enough to know: When the people are armed, his next crime may be his last.
