It could be you indeed you want to be alone and leave other alone with their own business, but unfortunately there are societies which such peaceful living is not such an easy option to pick for people and their neighbors.
I have got a friend who is a very good example of it, he is from the United States and he is a black person who does not own any weapons, after Trump managed to win the presidency of the country the people of the extreme right started to get more comfortable with showing off their racism against people like my friend. He friend wanted to be left alone and he would not bother anyone, but he felt so scared he started to seriously consider to get a handgun for his own protection.
All you have to do is out yourself in the place of someone like my friend, someone living around people who is constantly threating his self, because of the color of his skin. In that context, there will be people who do not like guns, but do not want the other side to be the only ones armed either.
Yeah, that seems to be a situation that your friend won't have any other choice because of the area. But fortunately, I know areas that are peaceful but livelihood there is limited and that's why I am saving up for my retirement to live there someday and when everything is up and good for me, I can have my passive income that will come to me while living the best life that I can. What matters to me is I'd live peacefully and I really have no plan of carrying one and I just treat it as a costly thing as well whether with registrations and stuff and as well as maintaining it.
By the way, I think the Bible means those who live by the sword, will die by it. I mostly apply to those who profit of death, like hitmen and cartel members. Does not have anything to do with lawabidding citizens having their guns safely locked or safely being carried.
My logic there is, you're a law abiding citizen but you anticipate that something might happen to you. Just as the hitmen that carry weapons, you also carry one so you might attract the same judgement. That's for me and what I believe so, quite confusing but this world is crazy. But I know that we have to protect ourselves with any potential danger but I wouldn't chose to go with hand on hand combat through guns. I'm a coward, I'll just avoid and run any potential danger while and until I can.
