Generally, yes. Libertarians, by definition, oppose government interference with people's lives and therefore do not support the government placing arbitrary limitations on families.

Probably yes, but few. They will probably be Left-winged. There probably are some, but they would be EXTREMELY few (to the best of my knowledge). Actually, the Libertarian Party officially supports the right to own firearms, but they also support abortion, homosexual marriage, marajuana, and just about everything else. Many conservatives (including me) who are against gun control shy away from the Libertarians for this reason.

What are the policies of the Libertarian Party?

In short, Libertarians believe the government should never violate an individuals rights (socially liberal), and should be extremely limited its power, especially in regards to the economy (economically conservative).Carried forward, Libertarians generally support gay rights, a woman's right to choose ("pro-choice"), and an individuals privacy (opposed to the Patriot Act, and to a degree also opposed to the CIA). Anything that expands the individuals' rights, Libertarians support.Economically, Libertarians generally believe that Capitalism should be unregulated. There are some blatant problems with monopoly and scams (i.e. Ponzi schemes), and a certain number of Libertarians believe there ought to be some regulation.In a similar vein, Libertarians generally are opposed to the power of the monopoly called government. As a political philosophy, Libertarians believe the government should exist only to protect the liberties of its citizens. A strong military is acceptable, but Libertarians favor the philosophy of the founding fathers - nonintervention.These "policies" are only as I understand them, and should not be taken as representative of all Libertarians.
