Thus, I argue for an understanding of rights, that is all inclusive and embracing. Property is merely a means to action, action that has infinite ends. The piecemeal taking away of rights is only possible because there are rights, instead of being becoming manifested through umuntu and their actions, with rules of conduct stemming from the conflict between abantu in activity, not due to some logical constructivist ‘rights’.įor libertarians the adage of all rights being property rights rings true.

The making unlawful of the licensing of firearms for self-defense is only possible and I say inevitable, due to the very structure that these institutions, like the police, exist in. In this paradigm, the gradual erosion of life, as represented in one ‘right’ being limited in contexts out of conflict or its resolution, becomes the norm. In this environment, wherein life can be put into neat little compartments which are only a prelude for manipulation of one sort or the other from the entity that exercise a monopoly on force. In an environment, a status quo socially wherein life is ‘objectively’ outlined as is represented in the ‘right’ to life, or to movement, and property or the right to water, food or shelter, or more recently the right to healthcare and in some circles, the internet, here at home we have dignity. When domination is the cultural seed, an absence of liberty which is really an absence of life, becomes inevitable to manifest and give energy to this seed. I don’t find this surprising though, the critique I have been offering of the state, has been lucidly clear. May the reader collect themselves, and contemplate, how, an entity that theoretically is said to be an extension of them, is somehow making it unlawful to defend yourself, a normal aspect of what constitutes life.
#THE ELOQUENT PEASANT LICENSE#
Administratively making it unlawful for anyone to get a firearm license for this reason. The Bill proposes removing self-defense as a reason for having a firearm license approved. Recently, we saw the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service opening for public comment a draft of the Firearms Control Amendment Bill.
