The Crisis Industry: Lobbyists and Hucksters

Another Crisis! — Send Money

We have all been approached by people, directly, by telephone, or by mail, who want money in order to help solve a current crisis of some sort. Some of these requests are legitimate, and some are not. In some cases, your money could be used for generating a crisis! The best thing to do is not give your money away to anyone until you investigate the recipient's motives.

On the April 17, 2015 episode of the Colorado Inside Out panel review of political topics, David Kopel responded to moderator Dominic Dezzutti's request for comment on pending legislation governing the capacity of firearm magazines in Colorado. The pending bill has exposed some controversial tactics for raising money, along with some questionable motives.

You don't have to follow social controversy very long to realize that you could substitute other names and/or issues for the ones in this video!
