That doesn't really matter, because you're taking agency away from people. You say that you know better and everyone should be at the mercy of the system.

But the system isn't perfect.

People don't need firearm agency. It won't fix unresponsive governments. Gun ownership just makes society measurably worse to stoke fragile egos.

Neither will anything else. Ultimately it's your life and you're the only one that's going to have to defend yourself at a random time. If a crime is committed against you then you're just a statistic for the government. Nothing more.

Odds are carrying a gun means you and your loved ones are more likely to be hurt than saved.
