“What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny—the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through “sensitivity training” and multiculturalist curricula, “hate crime” laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny.”
Coming to life in real time, not that it’s new. This story shows the tyranny side quite well. The lockdown orders are a perfect excuse to use the law to persecute law-abiding people.
And to a large extent, this is what the Second Amendment is all about. If the Constitution had been enforced by the Supreme Court ("shall not be infringed"), then the right to keep and bear arms would be more widely practiced. Which would make the tyranny less likely. But, you accept the anarchy by not enforcing the law, and you get the tyranny of a government that does not fear its people.
