Pandemics, Civil Order, and Gun Control
March 18, 2020
About 10 years ago, when Europe was in the midst of fiscal crisis, advocates for welfare spending rioted in some nations.
Given the continent’s grim long-run outlook, that got me thinking about the potential for a future breakdown of civil order and I wrote that it was tragic that most people in Europe didn’t have the right to own guns for self-protection.
Which led to this interview with NRA TV.
Today, the big concern is coronavirus rather than a future collapse of the welfare state
But it does raise the same issue of how to protect yourself and your family if there’s a breakdown or erosion of civil order.
I don’t think that’s imminent, but these headlines are somewhat worrisome.
We’ll start with an example from CNN that’s relatively benign.
But we then learn that the changes involve lack of enforcement and releasing crooks.
