The information you provided is not resolute, nor is it persuasive. However, the fundamental issue under discussion is this: 1) Sadly human beings are created with a condition of enmity of one person unto another and with groups carrying enmity toward one another and toward individuals external to the groups. 2) We are encouraged to consider and embrace a higher standard of morality which addresses the well being of one another but reasonable witnesses observe, not all will comply. 3) Some human beings throughout time continue to abuse one another in brutal and violent ways, while there has never in history been a satisfactory resolution or control to this. The abusers are seen most in favor of decent law abiding victims being disarmed for obvious reasons. 4) Self defense and the need to organize against brutal and oppressive others has always been justified by the circumstances we are born into and live with, regardless of the governing social system. 5) Numbers 1-4 justify the right to bear arms.
