THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
 
Maintaining our belief  in the the right to keep and
bear arms, we  oppose all laws  at any level of government restricting
the ownership, manufacture, transfer, or sale of firearms
or ammunition.  We  oppose all laws requiring registration of firearms
or ammunition.  We  oppose  any  government  efforts  to  ban  or
restrict the  use  of  tear  gas,  "mace,"  or  other  self-protection
devices.  We further  oppose all attempts to ban weapons or ammunition
on the grounds that they are risky or unsafe.
 
We support repeal of the National Firearms Act of 1935 and the Federal
Gun Control Act  of 1968, and we demand the immediate abolition of the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
 
We favor the  repeal of laws  banning the concealment  of  weapons  or
prohibiting pocket weapons.  We also oppose the banning of inexpensive
handguns ("Saturday night specials").


WOMEN'S RIGHTS

[...] Recognizing that each  person must be  the sole owner of
his or her  own body, we support the right of women to make a personal
choice  regarding  the   termination  of  pregnancy.   We  oppose  the
undermining of this right via laws  requiring consent of the  pregnant
woman's parents, prospective  father, waiting periods,
or compulsory provision  of indoctrination on  medical risks or  fetal
development.  However, we  also oppose all  tax funding for abortions.
It is particularly  harsh to force  someone who believes that abortion
is  murder  to   pay  for  another's   abortion.   We   also   condemn
state-mandated abortions.

POPULATION
 
[...] We oppose government  actions that either compel or prohibit abortion,
sterilization, or any  other forms of birth control.  [...]
 
We regard the  tragedies caused by  unplanned, unwanted pregnancies to
be aggravated, if  not created, by  government policies of censorship,
restrictions, regulations, and  prohibition.  Therefore, we call for the
repeal of all  laws that restrict  anyone,  including  children,  from
engaging in voluntary  exchanges of goods,  services,  or  information
regarding human sexuality,  reproduction, birth  control,  or  related
medical or biological technologies.
 
We equally oppose  government laws  and  policies  that  restrict  the
opportunity to choose alternatives to abortion.
