However, of the 20 houses on my block, I would wager 15 have guns under their roof. Also, as has been mentioned, it's a great deterrent against our own government. People have the right not to own a firearm and put their faith and trust in a government that only says they care about them, which some people do. Yet I will not take my freedom for granted by giving up my rights, or anyone else's right to own one.

As more and more people are hyped into believing the election was stolen and the "tree of liberty" needs some of that blood watering,
I become more and more worried about that "deterrent" applied to legitimate government.

I'm also worried that people could vote away democracy with the blessing of many 2nd Amendment supporters. 

Without a government protecting your rights, you won't have them, though you might have a lot of armed militias
running around deciding what your rights are for you.
