Cost and value are not one and the same. When I address the cost of something, I am speaking to the work that must be done to obtain that something. Value should be seen as the relative importance placed in the work done.
When I say there is a cost associated with exercising the 2nd amendment, I am not stating that it costs 1000 dollars or 10000 dollars. I am merely saying that it costs something. The figure associated with the cost, the value, is subject to plethora of variables that are mostly based on belief and not something transcendent.
