To my mind, we need to have guns on hand in case a real fascist government comes to power, or civil war, or something similarly unlikely. Keep them clean and oiled and take them out occasionally to make sure they work, but otherwise keep them locked up. If you are going places where you feel the need to carry a gun for protection, well, don't go there. I don't suppose that's a very helpful bit of advice.
I've been down the gun-control rat-hole before, and I'm not really interested in going down there again, but Roberta X has some cogent things to say, and so does Leah Libresco over at The Washington Post (Roberta provided that link).

1. Maybe you don't read the news, but it's too late -- the Deep State and The Swamp have already taken over the government. The well-armed militias have failed to do their job. Nor did they stop Dictator Obama, who we barely got rid of. Russia and Mexico are awash in guns and that didn't prevent corrupt governments in those places -- that should have served as a warning.
2. True, gun laws won't stop shootings. We made murder illegal, and guess what -- still have murders. Worthless law, legalize murder!
I am curious, where has a well armed militia or well armed population improved things, in the current era....besides Vietnam?
