    I agree with you. But, that’s not how things work.

    We’ve neglected public education and mental health for roughly forty years. The establishment wants a complete monopoly on violence. And, laws are only enforced when convenient for the ruling class. The state has caused an issue - stupid unstable people with guns - and will now use it as an excuse to further monopolize use of violence as a means.

        Society agrees with you. Government replies, “It’s Tuesday. Bend over.”

        Modern governance is your oppressor, not your savior. That’s why it doesn’t make sense.

            Then:

            The state… will now use (stupid and unstable people with guns) as an excuse

            Their means are:

            laws are only enforced when convenient for the ruling class

            Their goal is:

            The establishment wants a complete monopoly on violence.

            If the state threatens violence to get their way, then they don’t want to worry about violent self defense from the citizens with no other practical alternative.

            For example, if a cop is beating an innocent person in the street then the state donesn’t want a radical revolutionary executing the cop and then making the body disappear, trusting strangers to see nothing, to remember nothing.
