On this topic, it is interesting because even if fully abandoning gun rights in the USA made people less likely to be injured, robbed and killed combined, the value of the 2nd amendment stands.

Just like we all choose to have automobiles in our lives because it is more convenient to get around and live in our society with them, Americans by and large choose to have guns in our lives because it is more convenient or simply preferable to be able to point guns back at our overlords than to not be able to.

I'm making one argument about public safety because there really is no sound evidence about it despite ridiculous claims with no data, and the fact that public safety is literally never number 1 in our lives. But the larger argument is still the stronger one, that it is right for the people to be armed, and it is wrong for them to be disarmed.

In a dream world, "the government" is not armed, and neither are we, and we cooperate. In this world, violence is just as important as it was in the medieval times. Gun's won't save us from horrible outcomes but neither will giving them up. At least they put some kind of hard cap on the level of dystopian authoritarian nightmarescape that can ever exist within this country, as perpetrated by this regime.

Sorry you don't trust your neighbors to have a weapon. Lets focus on THAT problem and fix THAT. How do we get neighbors to be trust worthy. How do we get to the point where we trust EACHOTHER. All of history documents the story about how we can not trust the federal government. If I had old inventory of native american scalp I can probably still trade it for 5$ at the nearest federal building. The law didn't get changed till like 1948 but they'd probably still have to pay. This is the exact same government that enacted all the most horrible things you have ever read about in American history with no changes, no interruptions, no reforms. Nothing.
