The problem we are dealing with is mostly an American one.
Most countries have populations that are subservient to the government solely because their weapons were confiscated or not allowed to be sold by merchants. They are at the whims of the government those governments do whatever they want with no repercussions of any kind. If we didn't have the 2nd amendment this country would be just as bad as they are. We'd be slaves to the government with no recourse in case they went overboard in their edicts. You know like it happens in China, Cuba, Venezuela, NK, etc, and another etc.
The only thing that is keeping us from being a socialist/communist country is that there are more gun owners than people in the military and that's saying a lot as most of the military would probably be on the common folks side in a civil war...and the government knows this. What is the common discourse of the Demoncraptic party? "Take away the right to own a weapon, screw the 2nd amendment." They know that this is the most important item in securing a totalitarian government, to take away the means for the public to overthrow a despotic regime. The writers of the Constitution knew this and that's why the right to ownership of a gun was put into it.
If you think that you'd be exempted from laws that would come from this type of government you're sadly mistaken. Just ask the people in Cuba who fought for Castro and now rue that day. Or better yet in Venezuela where they're coming to the US in unimagined numbers. They thought Socialism was the way, they found out differently. You should open your eyes, you're asleep at the wheel.

Most countries don't have entire towns killed by drug cartel members either. We don't have that problem.
Most countries don't have Muslims rampantly killing Christians, but several African nations do. We don't have that problem here.
Most countries don't have Muslims attacking and killing Hindus, but India does. We don't have that problem here.
What do we have here? We have people killing children. Why? Because all of the adults are armed and drug cartels can't do whatever they want. All of the Christians are armed and Muslims can't simply kill them. All of the Hindus are armed, and they aren't available to slaughter.
Gun ownership stops the rampant killing of adults because the adults are armed. That's why children are targets here. They are the only people defenseless.
