that's a very personal, libertarian view and also applies to arms such as firearms

The view that there should be no interference in people's exercise of their rights in ways that cannot in any way interfere in the exercise of anyone else's rights, e.g. in respect of whom they have consensual sex with and how, and whether or not they gestate pregnancies, sure does apply to the acquisition, possession and use of firearms.

Maybe it's that incipient cataract of mine, but I'm seeing some differences.

"Libertarian" ... the word that can be used to mean "advocating the autonomy of the individual in matters personal to that individual" ... or "demanding that I be permitted to do whatever I damned well want, and the devil take the rest of you."

Words can be such fun.
