Private gun ownership may correlate

with freedom:

Erosion in China's gun controls reflects the Communist Party's slow retreat from most people's daily lives. Chinese increasingly spend their free time as they want. The Party also has less power to control the supply of guns at a time when the wealthy are looking for protection and recreation, and criminals are searching for an advantage.

I don't own any guns, but I think we should respect the Constitution. Otherwise, from where would Americans' rights be derived?
