The issue of guns in America is often discussed as essential to freedom in a liberal society. On the one side of the issue, the freedom relates to the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms against a tyrannical sovereign. On the other side of the debate, the concern is banning or limiting gun rights to ensure freedom from fear and violence. A part of the conversation being missed by all is the role of gun violence in the erosion of civil society, another essential component of freedom in a liberal society.
