Wrong conclusion. You should not equate not wanting to walk around
with lethal weapons as an indication that the only alternative is to
abrogate responsibility to the goverment.

I don't expect the government to do anything. Actually I would prefer
if it did the least necessary.

That is not correct.

Most are to some degree or another. Frankly so what. If you
capture a lot of data, you also have to analyse it.

Peoples' imaginations.

Actually I'm very independent. I'm broadly opposed to socialised
medicine, much of public education and most of the other trappings of
government - essentially because the government should not be in the
delivery business of these, purely in some of the funding of them.
However, this does not preclude behaving towards others in a civilised way.
