Ethics from the Barrel of a Gun

While looking for information on sling use for the Appleseed Project shoot this weekend, I came across a brilliant piece, "Ethics from the Barrel of a Gun," by Eric Raymond, the Cathedral and the Bazaar guy.  Maybe I knew that he was a kindred geek with guns, but I don't think I'd read this particular piece before.

Indeed, consequence-avoidance has been the anathema of American society for the past 40 years at least.  Real choices, real actions, real responsibility.  For the flavor of this alone, I'd own a gun—never mind that it's fun to shoot!
