Thee are even upwing libertarians who believe in self-defense, including lethal force
if that's called for, but don't believe in governments executing convicts. Go figure.
As for the rest of your most interesting predictions--if *things* are outlawed,
only outlaws will have *things*--no matter which *things* one refers to.
That's the only prediction, relating to yours, that I feel sure of.
I wish we could get beyond status crimes--that is, outlawing most kinds of physical
*stuff*--but that's just my crazy dream. Good luck in implementing yours.
