Democracy through a gun

Watching a film made in London depicting the ugly brutality between husbands and wives, between young men and women emphasised how lucky one is to be born into the security of a happy family. The physical harm the bully brings to all around him, the ineffectuality of the law, the hopelessness of the weak, made me reassess the American position on guns.
The layers of depravity and desperation, the lack of anything we would know as normal.  A breeding ground for violence which lies at every corner of their lives, unrepressed violence which starts as they wake up and continues in various forms throughout the day and well into the early hours. The fear and the uncertainty always there distorting there every thinking moment like a black cloud hovering above, inescapable, without end.
If violence is the modus operandi and the biggest most violent person hold all the cards, isn't the ownership of a gun democratic. Like the cross on the ballot paper, each bullet holds the same amount of power, the power to decide and solve the conflict which these people are engaged in, literally from birth and the willingness to pull the trigger is a direct result of the pain they are in.
The bully isn't in pain. And the weak, who are his usual pray, would have a contender on their side, making them less likely to be bullied, a form of democracy which seems to be at the heart of the American Constitutional Right to carry a weapon to be able to defend yourself ?
The liberal establishment in outlawing weapons, base much of their case on Socrates and the power of debate which sadly is lost in the jungle. As in so many cases there is an intellectual "wish" for a better outcome. If only people would behave in a more civilised fashion. They seem not to realise that the essence of the jungle is kill or be killed and that in many societies throughout the world this is the norm.
