In addition, history shows that societies that cannot defend themselves are taken over by aggressive and attacking peoples.  Every country has historical stories where people were forced into slavery because they had no way to defend themselves.  
The 2nd Amendment clearly states, "A well regulated militia, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
The Second Amendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. Sir William Blackstone described this right as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.
The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly and upheld this right.

If you don't want to exercise your individual right ro bear arms that is your choice but I choose to exercise my right.

God Bless America!!!
