True, but with the right to bear arms comes the responsibility to use them correctly - and a depressingly large number of folk don’t have that level of responsibility, certainly not those who would kill over a dispute in a game.

"A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue."

- Daniel Webster

Indeed, elder statesmen from the very founding of this nation forward have communicated the need for rights to be exercised responsibly. These days however, morality is simply 'uncool' so it's easier to view the right itself as somehow defective or in need of modification rather than the abuser of that right.
