Klem, the key word is choice. A nation that enforces the collective is another word for tyranny because choice is absent. If you believe in the religion of atheism then by all means you have the individual right to but only when the individual is allowed choice. Try that choice in a country where the individual is not important and you could have your head sawed off. Division of power is the back bone of this nation. When individuals try to enforce the collective here don't be surprised if you get resistances. When one has respect for others one has respect for the individual. If you choose not to carry a gun then that is an individuals choice. If you are not allowed to carry a gun then you are not free but a subject to other people who made that decision for you weather it was in your best interest or not. If those in power can give an individual security then they can also take it away. This applies to all nations not just ours. History proves my point.
