The idea of the social contract, that is citizens consent to be governed and abide by the law in exchange for protection from their government, is a fantasy. Being born within imaginary boundaries on a map, something you have no control over, does not constitute consent. In any other contract, people understand that a child is not capable of consent. Somehow when it comes to this "social contract", they think you are able to consent to the state's rule from birth.
Even if the contract was valid, the government does not give a shit about protecting you, and they also want to take away your ability to protect yourself. An armed citizenry provides a check on the government's power, and the government always wants more power, therefore they don't want an armed citizenry.
