Apparently sci-fi author L. Neil Smith is a libertarian. Gotta wonder if anyone has a list of libertarian sci-fi authors. (Robert Heinlein, ....) I've heard of the Probability Broach before but never had occasion to read it. His essay "Why Did it Have to be ... Guns?" is an excellent summary of the view of using the "gun issue" as a political filter.
We need more visible and vocal pro-gun public figures. Eric Raymond, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, editor of the Jargon File, and open software icon, is a self-professed "gun nut". At least we (hoplophiles) are in good company.
