It doesn't matter if you have the best idea in the world-- if you try to implement it using government violence, it's not ethical. It can't be.
There is nothing I want badly enough to advocate using government violence against you-- not even if I believe you are deserving of self-defensive violence.
For example: Let's assume that I'm right and that more guns in individual hands is a good thing. Would I advocate a "law" to require everyone to own guns? No way.
Once you add aggression, including government violence in the form of "laws", to your idea, your idea is crap.
If your idea depends on theft ("taxation"), it's wrong.
If your idea relies on being imposed by "laws", your idea can't stand on its own.
If your idea needs government, then you need to let it go and find a different idea.
When you allow yourself to use the anti-social hammer of government, everything looks like a nail.

Democide (Death by Government) is one of the biggest murderers of all time.
According to R.J. Rummel's book Death by Government 169,202,000 people have been murdered by government in the 20th century alone. This of course has been repeated through history through countless ethnic cleansing, genocides, wars, terrorism, death camps, etc. He estimates Pre-20th century Democide deaths at another 133,147,000.
These are the very same psychopaths that statists want ruling us and creating "law"? The only ones having guns? Seriously?
