And that's neither "wrong" nor illogical...
Of course. What you stated is the reality for a great deal of people. I feel that we are fortunate in that we, as a nation that is relatively unique, have people who have the "luxury" of being able to "fight the good fight" so to speak, to try to keep our rights and freedoms alive, and to, hopefully as a nation, empower or at least educate those others who may not have the luxury of being able to do so. Even a person with other priorities at the forefront of their cycle of life can certainly appreciate the concept of the intent of the 2A.
Discussions of ideas such as freedom vs tyranny, etc, may not mean much to someone who is trying to take care of a starving family from day to day, or simply working to make ends meet while falling a little deeper and deeper into the hole with each paycheck, or even wanting the stock market to keep going up to maximize the wad of cash in their 401k. To them, these ideas may be academic at best. Again, Maslow's hierarchy of needs certainly has a say; however, they can certainly at least appreciate the concept. Why would anyone belittle them?
There are indeed those who choose to remain ignorant, or will simply vote for anyone who promises to "give them stuff", whether it's free college, health care, or a strong stock market. They may simply not care about what they consider to be a purely academic, faraway notion. There are also people who couldn't care less about living under tyranny, as long as it doesn't directly affect them. Not everyone fought in the American Revolution, and not everyone in this country cares one way or another about our constitution and the liberties we have. That's just a simple fact. There are people either in, or want to be in power who will use this to further their agendas. It is what it is. It can be frustrating discussing this stuff with them. It is also frustrating when one realizes that they can vote, and have no qualms with voting away liberties, even if those liberties are for them, as well. That's pretty much the human condition.
We are fortunate that we live in a nation that has high ideals for liberty, and that we have a constitution designed to protect those liberties. Such a design is a rare thing, and given the nature of humanity in general, it is difficult to protect, and requires constant vigilance and enlightenment. It is certainly not the norm. It took a lot of enlightenment, luck, and hard work to create it. It certainly won't be easy to keep it.
Hence, these discussions.
