A Request for Help

Dear reader,

We have in recent days received a request from a longtime friend of the Libertarian Enterprise for help. Our friend is currently being held in a small jail in a western state which shall remain unnamed for purposes of preserving anonymity, and claims to have been denied access to certain personal belongings (harmless items, including a book) which constitutes a violation of First Amendment rights. The only permitted method of communication is by way of a monitored service.

Our friend maintains innocence with respect to the charges, and whilst the Libertarian Enterprise will not comment on the particulars of the situation, we do believe that everyone is owed a fair trial and the ability to retain a lawyer, with whom one is able to communicate in confidentiality. To that end, we have set up a GiveSendGo page, and our friend, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.

Yours in Liberty,

Rylla and Cathy Smith
Co-Publishers, L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise

Donations will show up as "Rule of Law", and will be directed to an account in Cathy's name which will then be provided to chosen counsel.

Call for Articles

A Call for Articles: NYSR&P v. Bruen: What's Next?

The Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen has got the usual hoplophobic suspects, um, up in arms. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-843_7j80.pdf What's the libertarian view of it? The Libertarian Enterprise will run a special issue on the question of NYSR&P v. Bruen: What's Next?

We would like to see legal and historical analyses, as well as some though on what issues should Second Amendment advocates pursue now? What does Bruen not address that we should take up next?

Bruen deals with one aspect of concealed carry permit laws. Are concealed carry permit laws even constitutional? What do state constitutions say about them?

This is, after all, L. Neil Smith's The Libertarian Enterprise. As is our custom, we will have a Blast from the Past: L. Neil Smith on the Atlanta Declaration, which says, "Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon—rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything—any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission." https://ncc-1776.org/tle2019/tle1028-20190707-02.html

Deadline for Submissions: Wednesday, July 27, 2022. Queries are welcome. Publication date, August 7, 2022.

Once More Unto the Breach
By Eric Oppen
Well, it looks like yet another of my predictions has come true. As I thought they would, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe vs. Wade, returning the decision on whether, and under which circumstances, abortion should be legal to the several states’ legislatures. That is, in my opinion, where it should have rested from the beginning.
