A man who has a gun, is a man who rules the world. That thought could be edited to say, A man who has a gun, is a man who (thinks he) rules the world. But, either way, it is true. Said another way, With the gun, comes the power. If you have a gun, you can demand your will.
It has been said, Power intoxicates. This is no less true with the power of a gun. Now, if it is true that the gun grants its bearer authority, it is also true that once a person gets a little authority, they often exercise it in unrighteous ways. That thought is common to many.
To suppose that if everyone has a gun, there will not be some abuses is to argue against wisdom. The more guns, the more abuses.
Whatever virtues there are in having the greater part of the populace own guns, we should not forget there is also a downside.
