Anyway, the rule of the state will become stronger and stronger in every nation: it has nothing to do with European colonialism.

If the government decides you do not have the right to carry a gun on your property then you do not. An amendment will be made to the constitution will be abolished at a stroke. If you carry a gun you become an outlaw. Thats simply the way it works. The right to carry guns is not some come of inalienable condition of humanity, it is merely the legal state of your country and is entirely changeable. You do not own any property other than that which is given to you by the state. If the state wants to build a highway through your house they will knock it down and give you compensation and whether you like it or not wont make a difference. Even whether you shoot at the people who evict you or not wont make a difference.

And the police have the right to subdue someone they feel is a threat. They were probably shaken up by the first death - even if they suspect a suicide they arent really sure of something, and the guy has a tool and and acting very aggressive and provoking them... in the specfic case that started this its no wonder they handcuffed the guy and then took him down the station afterwards
