When there is a constitutional amendment protecting the right to own and use a car, your argument might hold water. There isn't, so it doesn't.

The major reason for the 2nd amendment that always gets ignored or even denied by liberals is that it acts as a check on government tyranny, which negates any argument about hobbyist benefits vs. security. When tyranny takes away freedom, security is meaningless. The 2nd amendment is what prevents this from happening. Do you think the people of Venezuela wish they had maintained the right to bear arms right now? As horrible as the Las Vegas massacre is, it does not compare to what the Venezuelans are enduring and will continue to endure because of their poor choices in leaders and the constitutions without safeguards they have allowed to be put in place. We should not make that same mistake.
