Why do you perceive mass disarmament of non-police and non-military as an acceptable alternative to mass surveillance? They both present the same issues of: -selective enforcement; -persecution of minorities; -suppression of political rivals; -inherent asymmetrical concentration of power into the established elite; -history of abuse by totalitarians; I'm genuinely unable to wrap my head around taking a pro-liberty stance on one issue and a pro-authority stance on the other. Yes, criminals abuse our common freedoms, but governments have always had vastly greater ability to abuse their power. And crime is already marginal, and falling!
