If you can accept the fact that guns were needed "then" because of the danger; I would like to point out that in many neighborhoods (New Orleans, Detroit, various housing projects) a person today is in as much as, or in more danger of being murdered than they are today.  When the hurricane hit in New Orleans the media reported that almost all of the police abandoned their posts and people had to fend for them selves.  Also, you do not hear much about the public gang rapes that took place in the sports stadium do you?

Your first paragraph is unclear as to its meaning.  It would be beneficial to the rest of us if you would read it over carefully and be more concise as to its somewhat nebulous meaning
