If all of America's technology is so amazing, why are insurgents so effective in Iraq? Those who hide among a civilian population are extremely hard to root out. The government does not fear it's citizens because it works FOR them, and is a body made up of elected legislators. If the government truly feared its citizens, we would not be armed.
And there is much more to owning a gun than being able to defend against some far-fetched revolution. Were I allowed to (I fucking HATE Maryland's CCW laws!), I would carry a weapon for self defense. Handguns are also extremely fun to shoot, and many people are actively involved in sporting events.
I have a better question; why shouldn't civilians be armed?
