A graduate of Stanford University, Mr. Tappan was one of the earliest survivalists to promote the idea of Vote with your feet strategic relocation to a "free states" from a liberal "death spiral" Nanny state-Police state (See Blue state - unfree states).

Incremental Gun-Grabbing of the Police State - Nanny State
According to Mel Tappan, liberals and socialists support so-called "common sense" measures - a "good first step" of the Police state - Nanny state. To a conservative citizen-prepper-patriot Oath Keeper and to the Bill of Rights, this is "death by a thousand paper cuts". (See Essay:List of celebrities against Second Amendment)
Mr. Tappan supports the Second Amendment Foundation and this video, which is the formal response to Hollywood's Demand a Plan gun-grabbing propaganda video. The video shows one of the main differences between liberal gun control Nanny states (Blue states) and conservative and/or libertarian Second Amendment-supporting "free states" (Red states). This video shows why conservatives and libertarians "vote with our feet": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBelF4UddcY[4]
