Um, yes, actually I do. And I'm also realistic enough to know that a few mountain men huddled in their cabins pointing AK-47's out the window are not going to be enough to defeat even a modestly sized force of Army infantry.
And I'm further realistic enough to know that, assuming that somehow these mountain men develop super warfare abilities overnight in between rounds of Coors and manage to defeat the infantry, that the military will then bring this neat thing called artillery into the picture and wipe our heroic freedom fighters off the face of the earth.
And if the artillery gets defeated (and I'd LOVE for you to tell me how that will happen) then the military has airplanes which can drop bombs and vaporize these people whom you apparantly believe can defeat the entire might of the US military simply because of two sentences in a 200 year old document.
I'm not saying ban guns. I'm saying anyone who uses the "don't ban guns because only through letting people have deer rifles can we defeat an oppressive government" is barking up the wrong tree. No one with even a slight sense of reality would believe that scenario is remotely possible.
All I'm saying is you should find PLAUSIBLE arguments for why the people should be allowed to have weapons.
