You should be able to protect your home yourself, but the government doesn’t let you. It’s simple blackmail.

I have no idea where you live. As a European, I think that what you just said, is batshit insane.

I trust, and I have to trust, that my government acts (mostly) in my interest. If I stop doing that, I'm at war with my own government and I leave the "moral territory" of democracy. Nothing good can come out of that.

You have chosen to put yourself in a position where either you think the government acts in your interest or you have to be at war with your government. The answer lies somewhere in between.
