Mainly because so many countries have taken the guns away from their citizens. Makes moving from Democracy to Socialism to Communism to dictatorship much more easy for the government.

The main reason our constitution provides for the right to bear arms is to protect the people from a government gone out of control, not from each other.


COMPLETELY AGREE!

Well written.
