If we're going to go to hell anyway, it's going to happen without my express consent. I see no upside in selling my soul to the devil, or throwing away my personal honor and integrity for any reason.
I didn't say anything at all about gulags. However, certainly crime rates are up, and probably headed north. In the worst case (anarchy) there won't be anybody to send anybody else to a gulag.
Most realistically we're probably headed to where Mexico already is (whatever you call *that*!).
Interestingly enough, violent crime stats are actually down, and have been going down, concurrent with the relaxation of onerous gun laws.
