This might be an over-simplification, but firearms are pretty dangerous, and aside from their use in sport (you'll note that it's fucking difficult to kill someone with the sort of 'knives' they use in fencing) they don't really serve much purpose other than to stick cunting great holes in things - those things potentially including the category 'people'. There's a strong case for the state needing them when the people, some people, 'overshoot' [ha] their mark [double ha] and step out of line. I think it's a pretty unstable democracy that feels the need to amend its constitution with the aim of potentially preparing its people for bloody revolutions.
