This might be very cultural thing(I'm from Europe). But unless you want to live in a society dominated by warlords and gangs, laws and society is the better way imo. Again my opinion, but for me the gun defense is a myth perpetuated in the US for ideological reasons. Keep your guns,but they won't keep you safe against a gang which will just shiv you at night, or simply outgun you. The reason all civilisations of a certain density have centralised law enforcement is it's simply inefficient for everyone to defend themselves (think narco states: sure, you can hire a guard, but your neighbour also has to hire one. If you try to start a neighbourhood guard cooperation then you are one step towards government and police)

And coming from Europe, we create new rights all the time
