People who want to ban guns have faith in the government to not abuse their authority and to protect them from bad actors (who will inevitably possess smuggled guns despite any law written on a piece of paper). People who don’t want to ban guns think the first group of people are ignorant of the rich world history of corruption amongst the ruling class (see unconstitutional blue state covid lockdowns for recent example) and failure of police to save the day (“when seconds count, police are minutes away.” Also, see lazy Uvalde police response.) Freedom has a price that some are too cowardly to pay.
