In the New York Times op-ed piece by Charlie Warzel entitled Open States, Lots of Guns. America is Paying a Heavy Price for Freedom (May 5, 2020), why does Warzel say that there are similarities between those who want to return to normal during the COVID-19 crisis and those who want to prevent any kind of governmental control on gun ownership? Do you think most informed Americans would agree with Warzel that the root cause of both of these movements is an overly simplistic view of the importance of freedom? Provide examples from any of your reading, your conversations with other Americans or your experience to support your evaluation of the author’s assertion.
