Notes
1 Huemer, “Is There a Right?”
2 See Dixon, “Why We Should Ban” and McMahan, “Why Gun ‘Control.’”
3 See “U.S. Gun Death Rate.”
4 See Krogstad, “Gun Homicides Steady.”
5 See Bruckner, “Gun Control and Alcohol.”
6 See Husak, “Guns and Drugs.”
7 See Block, “2018 Brought a ‘Tectonic’ Shift.”
8 Although I am pleased he describes me as “prominent,” I have no idea why LaFollette accuses me of holding that the criminalization of risky behavior is “almost always unwarranted” (34).
9 I contrast numerous versions in Husak, “Varieties of Strict Liability.”
10 Nor is it a new position. See Baker and Farrish, “Liability Insurance,” 292.
11 Presumably the failure to register or to obtain insurance for a gun would qualify as nonviolent offenses, although the definition of violence remains contested.
