"Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson has
chosen former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld as his running mate, The
Associated Press reported Wednesday.  Johnson, former governor or New Mexico, told the AP that Weld would make
the announcement of his vice presidential candidacy Thursday.
"
Weld has a less-than-perfect record on gun rights as shown in this article from 1993..............
With voters growing increasingly fearful of
gunfire on the streets, Gov. William F. Weld of Massachusetts reversed
course this week and proposed some of the most stringent gun control
laws in the country.





                   Mr. Weld, a Republican who will run for re-election
next year, called for a statewide ban on assault weapons -- a proposal
he opposed during his 1990 campaign -- as well as a waiting period for
buying handguns and a prohibition on handgun ownership by anyone under
21. His proposed legislation would also limit the number of handguns an
individual could buy and would impose tough penalties for illegal gun
sales and gun-related crimes.        









                       





                   "The purpose of this common sense legislation is to
remove deadly guns from our streets and to take weapons out of the hands
of many teens who themselves are becoming deadly killers," the Governor
said.        









                       





                   As a candidate three years ago, Mr. Weld's position
on gun control had won him the endorsement of the Gun Owners' Action
League, a local lobbying group affiliated with the National Rifle
Association. And while many law enforcement officials this week praised
his turnaround, his critics charged that the Governor was acting out of
political expediency.

Well... The Republican Party has put New York liberal Donald Trump on the ballot...

Gun rights have taken a serious hit this election cycle, from the looks of things...

If Trump and Clinton drowned in a boating accident Paul Ryan's pet poodle would be president before Gary Johnson... Incidentally I don't dislike him but he has no chance in hell.

That's odd. I wouldn't call any of the libertarians I know leftists. Leftists like big government and libertarians inherently do not like big government. Leftists like gun control and libertarians do not like gun control because they see gun control as big government. Leftists like welfare and foodstamps, whereas libertarians would not approve of the government robbing one man to give to another. Leftists like communism and market control, whereas libertarians advocate a free market.

Just about the only things libertarians identify with leftists on are social issues such as drugs, prostitution, and abortion. And that doesn't mean libertarians necessarily like those things, they just don't believe the government has any business regulating them one way or the other.


You also have to keep in mind that just because someone claims to be libertarian does not mean they are adhering to libertarian principles. It's no different than how some folks claim to be Christian, yet their actions reflect nothing of the sort.

Negative. Many libertarians want as little govt as possible. Some are proponents of open borders, which is why I can't fully support them, but your post is ignorant and a gross oversimplification

Libertarian is a awfully broad definition, because it covers both liberal and conservative ideals and each individual's level of adherence to the "ideals of libertarianism" depends upon their own personal preferences and not meeting the criteria of fitting the description of an "ideal conservative" or "ideal liberal" as decided by other people.

I look at libertarians as people who have turned the needle either so far to the right or so far to the left that they both end up a the bottom of the dial where the word "Libertarian" is printed.  I've met lots of liberal libertarians like you describe and lots of conservative libertarians as well.

Basically both groups get there by realizing that they find government intrusion of any kind for any reason to be abhorrent.  It's how we end up with "pro gun liberals" and "pro marijuana conservatives" here on Arfcom.

I used to consider myself a sort-of libertarian. As I've grown older, I've become the diametric opposite of a libertarian: socially conservative and economically leftist. The country is going to hell in a hand basket with too much permissiveness.
