A right you cannot exercise is no right.
And since someone seeking your life may be armed, you have a right to be armed. For many, this is needed.

For example, most women may need to be armed to repel an assault by most men. Because women are on the whole smaller and weaker than men.
This is true and will always be true by nature no matter how much people bitch about it.
