“Gun laws, like drug laws, cannot be enforced in ways consistent with civil liberties. Draconian and discriminatory punishments, random searches and violations of privacy become likely. All the greatest tyrannies have disarmed their subjects. The Nazis and communists energetically stripped their victims of weapons. The right to bear arms is indeed a bulwark against the totalitarian whims of government. Gun laws cannot prevent criminals from getting guns any more than drug laws can prevent people from procuring narcotics. The more such utopian goals are pursued through government’s police power, the less free we become.”
