No, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. But, here’s one observation: they do not become better and more cooperative citizens. If you arm the person who thought you were an ignorant racist nazi last year, then you probably just armed an enemy when the initial crisis passes.
Yes, there are no natural enemies during a forest fire. But then it is over, the carnivores are hungrier than ever.
Just as Noah slammed the door on his neighbors, I will not arm the morally weak man who did not see this coming until he has armed himself with whatever he can find and fights beside me for a while.
