Rejoinder to Fegley and Dominiak on Property Rights and Gun Control

Abstract

Fegley and Dominiak (2021) do not have a theory of gun rights, but they are adamant that the positions put forth by Block and Block (2000), and Rothbard (1998), are incorrect. The present paper is an attempt to defend the perspectives put forth on this important issue by the latter two publications, and to repudiate the criticisms of them articulated by the former. To wit, the view defended herein is that ownership and possession of nuclear weapons is a per se rights violation, and ought to be banned.
