Its not the government that's the problem. It is unchecked power and tyranny.
Don't worry, every school shooting the 2A types bleat about how their guns keep us safe from tyranny (when they're not busy voting for tyrants).
Having guns is just like having encryption or any software.
However, we shouldn't let issues like guns get in the way of basic freedoms like the right not to be searched without a warrant
People aren't mutilating school children beyond recognition or executing their ex-girlfriends with RSA encryption.
They can shoot it better then, like they promised.
I think this is a chicken and egg situation, the more government the more it will morph into something bad for a portion of the people.
As it turns out you need a strong government with today's world. You can't get away with a small isolated country town like you could back when the US was starting out.
How do you know? How many good and bad wars has the US been involved in the last 100 years?
