Most people are quite good and wish to do the right thing and live peaceful, prosperous lives. The problem arises because ther are always enough exceptions and some of them rise to positions of power. The idea that goodness will prevail simply because of the "greatness of institutions" is utterly myopic, wishful thinking, and in the extreme, suicidally insane. That there are politicians who are so stupid as to believe such nonsense is the best reason I know to stay well-armed.

If virtue automatically prevailed over brute force and aggression, we wouldn't need police or jails.
