And you are also willing to claim that "libraries" are an institution."

Correct. Analogous to a Militia.

"Your claim is equivalent to mandating that only government can open or run a library."

Mandating? No. Private individuals could open a library.

Well-stocked libraries are going to do real well under your system of governance.
