When you give government the authority to take other people's rights you are are feeding a beast. A beast that will eventually consume you and those you fed to it.
All citizens of a nation should have the same weapons as those being used against them to deprive them of their rights.
What I find comical is the 17th century (and prior) mindset of most of the world that yields all of their Liberties to the King (central government) as they have never tasted (nor desired to have) real freedom.

We have a representative democracy to PREVENT having a King, and the govt. exists to keep me from grabbing my 9mm and taking your money, wife and kids and assuming overship over them. If you want to live in the jungle, go live in the jungle and let's see how much you like might makes right after you get a little taste of the real thing.
