What countries do we need to be protected from? We haven't been in a war to protect our borders in a little over 200 years.

Yes, it does.
The point is that the government uses guns and regularly murders people, not only in war but in every day life. Every law requires force of guns. Any banning of weapons to prevent force is inherently hypocritical by the government. The government is force incarnate.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
