Daniel J. Mitchell: Possible European Collapse Illustrates Need for Armed Citizenry

Forbes Contributor Daniel J. Mitchell discusses the fear of economic and societal breakdown in Europe, and how these (potential) events underscore the need for an armed citizenry.  The article makes the case against gun control using constitutional arguments and the natural right of self-defense.  Mitchell clearly "gets it" when it comes to the Second Amendment.  This is evidenced by the fact that he does not mention "hunting" as an argument in support of the citizens' right to bear arms.
