A.C.T. is not the only Libertarian party in the world to hold seats. In Costa Rica the Movementario Libertario currently holds 8 seats, IIRC, in the parliament. If you expand the definition of Libertarian to include parties that label themselves liberal but would be libertarian by using the American definition of the word you have Venestre in Denmark, the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy in the Netherlands, and the Free Democratic Party's of both Switzerland and Germany all of which hold seats, and in the case of Venestre is a major party that is currently heading the government.

Pstt, it's Venstre (Left), the other sound more like a French window And I'm pretty sure that no US libetarian would like the current politics of the Danish government

Thanks Jens for correcting my two screw ups. First hand knowledge is alot better than my secondhand/Wikipedia knowledge.

Ireland's Progressive Democrats should be mentioned in this context, I guess.

Knew I forgot someone.

Nobody cares about Gun Control (nobody needs guns anyway - police are unarmed)

Okay so let me get this straight. Nobody owns a gun and the police are unharmed? Holy sh**t if I ever want to get into a life of crime all I have to do is go to NZ with a few guns.
