In fact, I have no problem with a soverign state passing a law that even decriminalizes theft and burglary. Recall, back in the 1700's and even in the 1800's, for the most part, government did not get involved in protecting an individual's personal property.
What I do have a problem with is curtailing an individual's right to:
- own and easily access the means to which he can protect his property
- being allowed to defend one's property with deadly force, without criminal or civil penalty
- being allowed to form "neighborhood defense areas", where you can call on your neighbors to help defend property from thieves and burglars.
- prohibiting other states from denying licenses and services to residents from Illinois seeking to move away from the nastiness they created.
You have a point. Protecting myself without constraints would be more effective and enjoyable. Two mints in one.
