What can be another way to reword this paragraph?

It is no surprise that gun violence has sowed a broad lack of trust in many communities. When the government breaches the rights of its citizens, it invariably claims that it is doing so to protect them. We rely on our governing bodies to lead this country in the right direction and enforce the law, and we show them respect for that. However, a lack of trust in the government will not deter gun violence. People will continue to protect themselves and defy authorities and use violence to protest. As it appears in Haynes (2015) article, “Liberty vs Security An old debate in renewed in the age of Terror”, Sesenbrenner who was the original architect of the Patriot Act week after 9/11 felt betrayed by an overweening government. This information shows that the authority doesn’t follow their own laws that they set in place and aren’t fully straightforward about what goes on behind closed doors.
