I work for a private contractor who has a government contract. I am not banned from having a weapon in my vehicle subject only to the post commanders rule that it be unloaded and not reachable from the drivers seat. So my thinking isn’t tainted by being some sort of government operative, as you seem to think. And I definitely wouldn’t work for you on a bet.

You have not been able to articulate exactly what right you have lost, what fruit of your labor you have lost, or what property has been seized. What liberty have you lost? You still own that business, still make money from it, and can still tell your employees that they must do the work assigned by you. You haven’t lost a dang thing.

What you are now claiming is soveriegnty over others property, denying them the use of it. You don’t own your employees guns, cars, or lives. You invite them to work for you by extending employment. They don’t have the right to that employment, but neither do you conjure up the right, nay, power to deny them their rights, which you seem to think.

I am going to ask again. What liberty have you lost? And control of your property isn’t the answer, because you still control it in all aspects. Your business, your fruits of labor. No one has come demanding that you personally take some action that affects you in any manner.

What you propose doesn’t respect anyone’s rights but your own. No one has seized control of your property (which means using it for their own purposes, by the way, not what you seem to think it means).

As far as liberty of contract, sure. But you can’t force someone to sign away rights in that contract.

It is very obvious that you have no concept of what liberty is. Especially since you think you can strip it from someone because you happen to employ them.

Contact me when you own your own business. We can discuss then.
