What kind of government do your want? One that recognizes and respects the rights of the individual and exists to serve those rights, or one that sees the individual as a member of a greater whole with rights (really privileges) granted by government to enable the individual to serve the needs of the greater good?
Those that want the former tend to support the individual right to keep and bear arms. Those that want the latter tend to (correctly) see an armed populace as a threat to government which must be controlled or ideally eliminated.
This is one of the more intelligent post I have seen on this site for some time.
And it rather cuts to the heart of gun control, free speech, religious freedom, and the rest of the freedoms and rights we were promised in our Constitution.
It also tends to separate the sheep from the goats. Think about it.
By the way, put me down as a firm believer that my rights were granted to me by my Creator, not provisionally granted as a privilege by my Progressive Lords and Masters.
Since four States, (five if you count Wyoming) already allow Constitutional Carry, with no bad results, it seems obvious that other States ought to follow suit.
