It's hard to find people who are committed to liberty.
Take "gun rights" people, for example.
Too many of them are fine with other natural human rights being violated- as long as it doesn't affect them. You'll find many of them who support prohibition, "immigration" control, or cops. The number of them who are flaming statists astounds and disappoints me.
A lot of them even approve of background checks, the NFA, and government keeping "certain people" from exercising their right to own and carry weapons. I guess, as long as they have theirs, it doesn't bother them too much if government violates the rights of others.
Gun stores may be the worst offenders, since I suspect many of them like the fact that government is protecting their market share by regulating the crap out of guns, in clear defiance of the Constitution. I think it's some sort of "teacher's pet" power trip. They feel special, since they have a "license"... never mind it's for something no one can rightfully require a license for.
It's not any better with other liberty-oriented topics. Most people love what they love, but everyone else is out of luck. No support.
I do my best to surround myself- at least online- with people who do better. I'm happy to report that it works.
Tips are nice.
