Exactly. You're SO RIGHT about government weighing the costs and benefits.
Which is why the founding fathers made gun rights the second amendment!
Isn't it great!?
The founding fathers weighed their costs vs benefits and found that the benefits outweighed the costs to such a degree that they deserved a entire amendment.
I'm glad we're in agreement about cost vs benefits.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

They weighed the costs and benefits of giving every citizen the right to own a muzzle loading flintlock musket. Such a gun was a tool used to harvest game and defend the homestead. I doubt they would make the same call today when it comes to semi auto weapons with detachable mags. They are designed to kill as many people in as short of a time as possible.

These guys wrote a document that created one of the greatest democracies in the history of humanity, they created a beacon of freedom through out the world that paved the way for one of the greatest improvement in quality of life that humanity has ever seen. Why can't you just trust the experts?
