RE: For Anarchists, Ends Do Not Justify Means: Response to @lukestokes

@mattclarke, maybe this?

If there's a possibility that limiting some freedom could lead to a greater well-being, what then? Do I say, "No, thank you, I'd rather be less happy. I'd rather my life be worse." That's not logical.

Do threats and perceived threats against my own well-being create a plausible argument to restrict the freedom of others in specific categories like weapons designed for offensive use? I think we have to answer yes here.

That's the one. Thanks Graham.
Its the piece I was thinking of.

Ah there it is! Thanks @kafkanarchy84.

I remember that conversation now, and I thought I did a good job of (trying) to represent many sides of a complicated topic. It wasn't about automatics or clip sizes, but about representing different views so we can discuss them rationally. I didn't advocate for anything particular, as far as I recall, but wanted to have a dialogue.
