Sure they do, but their bodyguards are an small fraction of all gun owners. These few are not the driving force behind Second Amendment activism.
That is because normal people have to provide their own protection. Always remember that when seconds count the police are only minutes away.
So your right to protect yourself, in the unlikely event you need to do so, means the rest of us have to be concerned about you. If you are afraid of the boogieman to the extent that you need to go around armed at all times, how do you think we feel having to interact with you and your arms? How much of a walking breathing hair trigger are you? How can we know?
Life isn't that scary, but folks like you manage to make it worse.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
