But maybe I'm just behind the time and still believe in things like laws to rule society from the center...

Yes, a great nation/republic should only be governed by the laws and constitutions, not the people. The leaders are only elected to carried out the constitutional obligation or obligation of laws on behave of the people. This makes the content of the supreme laws as important as the officials who are elected to carry out the obligation.
IMHO, US supreme laws provide the best defense against the emergence of murderous tyrannical government by allowing private gun ownership, militia & the rights to secede. One of the side effects of these is you may have higher rate of mass homicide or suicide with guns instead of less destructive weapons such as
knife or other tools.
Even the Swiss is moving to ban rifles at home .... Hmmm...
Move to ban guns at home gathers pace in Switzerland - swissinfo You gain something, you lose something ...
