I don't think you're getting it.
There are two scenarios here.
Everyone can get guns, too many guns in society, people need guns to protect themselves. Including Liberals.
Or, everyone can't get guns, not many guns in society, people don't need guns to protect themselves, not Liberals or Conservatives.
But then you know this already, right?
Why is the first scenario, "everyone can get guns", too many guns?
Clearly in a democratic republic, if you do not want a dictatorship or police state, then pretty much everyone has to be armed.
There is no other way to do it.
If people start being lazy and want to just hire cops and soldiers to be armed instead, then we should stop pretending to be a democratic republic, because then we are not. When we have half a million imprisoned from the illegal War on Drugs, asset forfeiture, mandatory sentences, illegal foreign wars, etc., it is NOT a democratic republic,
The second scenario, "everyone can't get guns", is exactly how you created a dictatorship or police state.
