Do Libertarians Support Gun Control?

No, libertarians do not support gun control.

Libertarianism is a political philosophy that recognizes the liberty of all people and their inalienable right to defend themselves and be armed.

The right to protect oneself is a fundamental freedom and must never be compromised, abridged, altered or removed.

Libertarians wholly support the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense and recreation so long as they do not infringe upon the liberties of others.

Libertarians believe in non-aggression and peace and utilize shooting guns only for self-defense, hunting or recreation (like target practice).

The founding fathers of the United States of America understood the right to keep weapons and firearms as imperative to the security of the nation, which is why they penned the Second Amendment:

"A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
