Free democracies are ultimately defended by citizen gun ownerships
Many countries have take guns from lawful citizens: Germany, USSR, UK, NZ, Australia, Canada. Now there is a movement in the USA to take them too. But it is misguided. Here is why.

The most important reason for citizenship gun ownership protected by the constitution is to protect from the biggest potential criminal of all - the government.
Having just fought a war of independents against the British colonists, the American founders understood all too well what unlimited government and dictatorial powers could do.
The King of England "pre-broke" many of the items in the US Bill of Rights. Censoring speech, searches without due process, billeting of soldiers in homes without pay, taxing unfairly. That is why I think the Constitutional Congress was so keen to add them to the US Constitution. The experience a few years later of the French revolution turning into a dictatorial bloodbath showed how important it is.
If guns had been illegal in the American colonies then it is quite likely there would not have been a successful revolution. And the USA today is a thorn in the side of the Dark State. The DS has been working hard to get rid of all American rights. 1A and 2A are two of the most important amendments we have left.
