I find the amount that this worldview extends in your country to lead to very dire consequences. For example, the personal freedom to own guns.
There are tradeoffs in both systems.
The United States has always had the 2nd amendment but mass shootings are a pretty new phenomena so its wrong to suggest the 2nd amendment is the impetus for that change.
Very American mindset to assume the only problem one could have with an entire population owning guns is mass shootings. Regular old shootings outway mass shooting deaths by a long way.
