I am not saying that. But it is a valid view.

I can't imagine life without a phone. I can live without a car (I cycle the
16 miles per day to work and back). I do live without a gun - I do not live
in fear of criminals or the "state". Perhaps I have the luxury of living
without the need of a gun? Is that not how you would prefer to live? If I
were to design a utopia, gun would not be required.
