And as far as the RKBA goes, having a Social Conscience does not mean having to sacrifice everything for the group.

People not getting hurt is the not the only thing that matters in this country. Freedom is sometimes more important than safety.
There is absolutely no reason that those that live in small towns, villages, or on farms or ranches, where the only law enforcement is the county sheriff, with a response time of 30 minutes to one hour, should have the sacrifice the ability to defend themselves and their family, on the grounds that it MIGHT prevent someone in a large urban area from getting hurt.
