Gun Control vs Gun Rights vs Guns
editI don't know if this issue has ever been raised before, but isn't it kind of non-neutral to have the section header be "Gun Control" instead of, for example, "Gun Rights"? I think the most neutral way to phrase it would just be "Guns", or perhaps "Gun Legislation". Does anyone have an objection? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benevolent Prawn (talk • contribs) 10:50, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- I agree that "Gun control" does sound a bit non-neutral. I think "Gun rights" or "Second Amendment views" might be better phrasing. Sal2100 (talk) 17:31, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
:: When Gary Johnson was governor of New Mexico, he talked about ending the war on drugs, and he was a more moderate Republican; but he didn't really become a right-winger until he ran as a libertarian presidential candidate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6000:C305:78DF:916B:31CD:171A:93B5 (talk) 04:46, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
"Inter-presidential campaign activities"
editThis section contains some good information but doesn't seem like it needs to exist, or at the least is fairly flawed.
Its first paragraph is almost entirely public statements of views that are already covered by the political beliefs section, which don't seem notable by itself. "Our America Initiative PAC" could just be moved to the campaign finance section, and "CEO of Sativa Cannabis Inc." could be moved later in the article to where it's mentioned in relation to the 2016 election, or somewhere else where it's relevant to his drug views and/or personal life
"Libertarians For National Popular Vote" isn't really "inter-presidential campaign activity" considering that was in 2020 after Gary Johnson's last presidential campaign and shouldn't be in this section
