I don't go around thinking I will be protected from dangerous criminals by the government.
So you recognize that if your attitude held sway, your being beaten, robbed, maimed and or shot is your own responsibility. I accept that. I have no problem with that.
Now do you accept that if your attitude held sway, other people being beaten, robbed, maimed and or shot is your responsibility?
Keep in mind that many of the victims are poor, female or elderly, and a gun is what protects them from vicious criminals, who may NOT HAVE A GUN.
I think you should keep in mind that you're projecting your own wants onto the poverty class in general. Why don't you just blatantly admit that it's you who wants a gun?
