Yep. That ideal was at the heart of the second amendment, and a reason that I feel U.S. citizens should be able to legally carry bazookas around if they want.
Granted, the idea of an RPG in the hands of the average American does kinda scare the bejeezus outta me, but I don't feel that's a worthy reason to limit his or her right to do so.
Once you start limiting those rights, you, by definition, move toward being more of a "Police State"
