It will kinda fuck up the libertarian notion of banding together in
self-defence leagues or mutual insurance groups as well. Buggers up the
'market-place' too, after all, they would have no moral right to operate any
exchange mechanism or medium beyond one-on-one barter.
Still, at least it will still leave a place for one man and his guns... all
different calibres, of course, after all, can't have anyone enforcing
something so vile as a standard form of measurement....
