Don't confuse the issues here the 2nd amendment is not about sport or crime. Its about protecting your god given rights from anyone else enforcing their will on you. This is why our system has checks and balances and even then the founders knew that would only work for so long (they probably understood Plato) so they put in another check that being an armed citizenry. Remove that last check and there is nothing to stop the rulers from doing what they want and backing it up with force, its been proven all throughout history.

I'm surprised a dude who evidently once purchased an Intro to Philosophy textbook at his local community college could be so dumb.

I mean really, just really. Until the second amendment guarantees our right to possess and utilize in our self-defense jets, missiles, helicopters, killer robots and AIDS the government is going to find the citizenry a minor annoyance should they decide they want to "enforce their will upon you". Even armed to the best of your ability, the government is gonna fuck you up, son.

Just admit you're afraid of being raped by a black dude. And by "afraid" I mean "afraid you'll get caught loving it". That's what it usually boils down to within the consumer segment of the gun culture.
