First of all, I want to amend my statement above to assert that I understand that self-defense is a real and valid reason for wanting to own a gun. But, whether you are defending yourself from a criminal or your own government is irrelevant to the issue of reasonable gun control laws.

Me personally? No. And frankly, I think any American sitting in front of their computer who owns a car, had breakfast this morning, enjoys a nice, clean glass of water whenever they want it and can sleep at night reasonably sure that a gang of thugs with machetes isn't going to break into their house and kill them and their family who would consider killing people for the state of affairs in America today hasn't earned the "privelege" of those sorts of thoughts.
