This may possibly due to a set of norms that have spread throughout all levels of your social system. If that sustains, Huzzah! :D Good news.
What is your plan when the trust is betrayed, when the system has stress put on its seams? It can happen, simpely because people are human. Having a back up plan is a useful posture to adopt.

Thank you for making all my paranoia sound perfectly reasonable with those well chosen words.
Sorry, I could never ever live in a place that did not allow me to stockpile guns and ammo. When all else fails, vote with lead. People say it will never happen... But it has happened. The American Revolution. Liberty and freedom are fickle, and even now, we are slipping in to dictatorship. Our system has failed, as much as it grieves me to say. Guns ensure that the average man that could do little else, has a chance to do something... Because evil wins when good men do nothing.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
