    It is an uncomfortable truth that one will sometimes be honest in private 
while maintaining a public stance that is contradictory.  
    The example of Ron Paul has the following problem: He never told anyone 
he was pro-choice.  We all knew that was a point of conflict but it mattered 
less to most of us because within the LP there had been a long term 
disagreement on the issue of abortion.  Principled people were still 
exploring the issue, which still has no concensus.  
    I do not know anyone who disagreed on the issue of gun ownership and the 
unacceptability of statutory limitation of that right. I know no argument 
that could possibly convince me that a person who disagrees on that issue 
should be representing the LP as a canidate.  
    We may not have the facts.  Perhaps he was misquoted.  He should be given 
a chance to clarify his stance.  But if he believes the State has a role in 
limiting the 2nd Amendment he should not be running for office as a 
Libertarian.
