It genuinely comes down to an American belief that "the individual is the primary unit" and must be equipped with tools to secure his safety, security, and well-being through his own actions. ALL of the idealogues around gun ownership loop around this single virtue. To take several examples:

- "When seconds matter, police take minutes"

- "Guns are the last line of defense against tyranny"

- "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun"

- "Your home, your property, and your family must be your right to protect"
