Fichte on the Normative Foundation of Gun Control (Quote)

From Fichte’s Foundations of Natural Right, 294-5:

Police law prohibits actions that, in and of themselves, do not harm anyone and appear entirely neutral, but that make it easier for someone to injure others and make it harder for the state to protect potential victims or track down those who are responsible for their injuries. Ill-informed people tend to regard these prohibitions (the non-observance of which does not harm anyone) as unjust, and to doubt the state’s right to issue them.
