All liberals have it.
That is almost certainly false. When dealing with people, there is no "all". I could say "all Republicans are fascists", but that isn't true either. Some are. Some (most) are not.
Our government is made up of our fellow citizens. We vote for the leaders, and they appoint underlings, and then there's the civil service. And rules and regulations governing all of that.
I tend to disagree with the notion we are incapable of governing ourselves. We're a democracy. That's what we do, pretty much by definition. We (humans) do have an unfortunate tendency to favor strong-men, which leads to dictatorship. That's not to say that we don't make a mess of things frequently. But we learn, and generally fix it.
I submit that it is many/most gunowners that do not trust their fellow citizens. That's why they feel the need to arm themselves against them. You're convinced that some subset of our population is going to burst into your home and kill you. Even though the data show that this is an exceedingly rare event. Much more common is a child playing with a firearm and shooting themselves, a playmate, or even a parent. Or hearing a sound in the middle of the night and shooting a figure in your hallway that turns out to be your son (true story). 22x more likely than being used on an intruder.
