Freedoms such as pirates being able to roam without confrontation. I
personally vote for putting gunnys and 50 cal. and 20 mm guns on merchant
ships, or at least a train cadre of anti-pirate personnel. And give them
plenty of lethal hardware. A LAW missle oughta do it against one of those
little pirate boats. It's simple math. One LAW, one boat, nothing left
over.

The ones not permitting defense of vessels, are Company Owners,
Insurance Carriers and National Governments.
Once on the ocean they can do as they please about being armed. Once
they port is the problem.
As far as fisheries, it won't make any difference. The ones devastating
the fisheries are the new using the UN. They have no use for the UN
except if it will get them their way.
Bi bad ole USA would get regulated while gumbia, and numbia, rape and
pillage.
I'm sure Somalia war lords will sing on the dotted line.....not.
The US Navy is supposed to protect US merchant shipping on the high
seas.
