There Is No Right to a “Freedom from Fear”

My latest over at the Tenth Amendment Center! Today I’m debunking the idea of a right to “freedom from fear,” which has been widely used to justify mass civilian disarmament.

Turns out, #1) That’s not even what FDR was *!&^ing talking about, and #2) We’d have to give up a huge number of valuable common-law and Constitutional protections to enforce such a right!

Worth it? I think not.

I might–nah, should–do a video version of this, because I thought some parts are pretty fire. We’ll see.
