This isn't as clear cut of a case as you make it out to be. Britain's recently been on a path of overregulation bordering tyranny and limiting free speech. Canada is on a similar path. German green and red party politicians recently caught flack for trying to criminalize unpleasant critique. Press freedom and press independence are actively getting worse and Europe is setting course on a path of nationalism and conservative hardliners and there's an active war being fought on its borders. Islamic nationalism is on the rise and the issue concerning unregulated migration has a real chance to cause uprisings in the continent.

I do not like powerful guns in the hands of the population and I love the idea of a peaceful civilization without the need for violence, but you're living in a relatively short peaceful historic phase, which is just now starting to take a turn for worse again.
