"Ordinary" crime? There's still lots and lots of crime. It'd be difficult, if not impossible, to prove that the 2nd Amendment "brotherhood" has kept them safe from crime.
Mass shootings? It's gun owners who've been doing those, which is one reason why they see private ownership of firearms as a threat.
Tyrannical government? Except perhaps for the lunatic fringe, I doubt that anyone is actually concerned about the government becoming tyrannical.
