    I am having deja vu. Where have I heard this rap before?

    Ah ladies and gentlemen here is living proof that "anarcho-capitalists" walk among us. All hail Rothbard!

    6 posts so far, 4 of them on the gun control thread. Surprise.

    Im not sure waht "anarcho capitalist" has to do with anything. That might be your word for me, but I dont consider myself as such.
    You didnt actually have anything to say about my post, though.
    Do you have anything to say which might be able to prove what I said wrong?
    Am I incorrect in some way? If so, could you point it out?

    They called me an "anarcho capitalist," and kicked me out of the people's chat.

    You are clearly correct in that 10,000 ar-15s could not compare to one UAV but here is the thing: taking a military base wouldn't be a good idea. Taking a rail road, supplies depot, factory, ect would be possible. I am not even sure if that would be necessary but it that started happening or even if others started a civil war I would rather have a gun even if I were not involved.
    I don't think seizure of factories or railroads requires assault rifles.

    If a civil war takes shape, then the ideal conditions for a revolutionary movement have been compromised anyway, and not only would the working class need to be armed but they would also need to be organized militarily. But it isn't as if civil wars are a necessarily natural result of a revolutionary movement. On the contrary, I would say civil wars show that the revolution isn't popular and that the revolutionary government is unstable.

    If it walks like an an-cap, and quotes the "non-aggression principle" like an an-cap, it's most likely an an-cap.

    Your ideological stance is no skin of off my nose. It may be an issue however to the anarchists on this site. They may not take kindly to someone who comes down solidly on the side of property owners in any dispute. There is also all those awkward "right wing populist" Murray Rothbard quotes that you are going to have to account for.

    As for me I'm just going to pop some popcorn and watch the fireworks.
    That's all very well in practice, but how will it work in theory?
