There are two possible answers to this question, IMHO:
1) None
2) Exactly the same responsibilities or obligations as those who who are attacking the 2nd Amendment.
Personally, I choose answer number 1. My responsibility is to protect myself and my family. I have not run for public office, I have not taken a job as a social scientist, I have not proclaimed myself to be an expert on crime prevention, and I am not a public school teacher indoctrinating youths that they have a "right" to not have their self-esteem damaged irrespective of how stupidly they behave. Let the people who take those jobs and who have created the crime problem find the solutions ... but don't make stripping me of the means of self-defense your "solution."
