Yeah this is the reason there's so much violence in the drug trade. If someone robs a drug dealer, they can't go to the police. If someone encroaches on a gang's territory, they can't sue. If a cartel budges out a rival cartel through shady business practices, there's no legal recourse. So the result of all the situations is extreme violence.
That's the end road here if the justice system continues to be corrupted. There will eventually become a point where people see the rich getting richer off the suffering of others, and with no legal recourse, will resort to violence.
The 2nd Amendment exists as a remedy when all the other Amendments fail.
Yet I fear that the second amendment mostly exists as a pacifier to keep people clinging to the perceived security of "having the 2nd amendment after all".
Keeping something as a last resort is meaningless if you are never willing to actually tap it.
Then it is just comfort.
