are there a lot of people like that in your city, blew?
-moves there with guns-
fact of the matter is, if you disbelieve in having a gun, you're trusting the government more than you trust yourself. the government is ultimately not responsible for our protection; it is only a tool we use to protect ourselves, in addition to our own personal responsibility to protect ourselves. to overdepend on the government exerts a pressure on it which inevitably leads to some form of abuse and corruption (and in fact IS abuse of the government, to push it to be better than you push yourself to be, to load it with unrealistic expectations).
you might say, what if I disbelieve in having a gun, and disbelieve in the government having a gun? well if that disbelief was wide-spread enough that as a matter of conviction, even criminals would only use knives, it might be relevant as a means of leveling the playing field. that not being the case, one has to realize, life in this imperfect universe is hard, and sometimes that drives people crazy, and into irrational and dangerous behavior. they will have access to guns whether they're legal or not, but even if they didn't, society is obliged to protect itself from those people who can't protect society from themselves.
worst case scenario: 'gun crazy hicks' protecting you from actual crazy hicks with guns.
