Weapons are a human right, completely independent of anything about rebellions or keeping the government in check.
Individually, if you prevent a person from carrying a weapon when they’re in a dangerous situation, it’s like locking them into a cage with a hungry tiger in it.
It’s perfectly natural for a person to be able to reach out and pick up a weapon. To block someone from this takes active effort.
And if that person is in a dangerous situation, and you make that effort to prevent them from being armed, you’re actively violating their rights.

I’m taking the other comment about not arguing with stupid people.
I’d say I am a prime target for random violence but I wouldn’t want weapons to be legalized here.
Does being a prime target for random violence mean you’ve experienced random violence?
Mostly just people trying to let out their frustrations. I can handle them. It’s a feature, not a bug that there’s no weapons involved.
