Consider that the ongoing debate in gun control is reduced to accusing the victims and the eagerness to require our underpaid teachers to carry weapons. In essence, forcing people that would rather not carry weapons, to carry weapons. Isn’t that tyranny?
The other issue is the dismantlement of our social and civic norms by the people that are serving in those capacities. The idea that government institutions are somehow the enemy is a development that will leave a lasting impact for years to come.
