Do arguments about the Second Amendment protecting Americans from government tyranny -- I won't rehash them here -- apply to privatized corporate governments?<br /><br />And <a href="http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=525693" rel="nofollow">can privatized corporate governments ban privately owned firearms in their communisties</a> (see <a href="http://privatopia.blogspot.com/2008/08/gun-rights-vs-freedom-how-take-your.html" rel="nofollow">"repressive libertarianism"</a>)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060417.post-17402389561000748732011-01-30T16:07:49.594-06:002011-01-30T16:07:49.594-06:00It's likely only the board members and HOA ven...It's likely only the board members and HOA vendors that are concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
