- iammisc 5y agoBecause all life has risk, and the purpose of government is not to eliminate all risk to life. Such a government would be immensely awful. Gun ownership, self defense, and most importantly, the maintenance of real armed power in the population at large discourages a worse outcome, than the loss of any particular life.
