Do you not believe those of us who think that the right to bear arms may be important someday since all governments on Earth eventually become corrupt and fail?
I don't see how it trumps the need for reasonable gun control TODAY.
Do you think armed resistence will be futile anyway so why even try?
Basically, yes. I'm not one to believe in the "go down shooting" ethic.
Having a healthy mistrust of our government does not seem like swallowing a mundane or mystical interpretation of patriotism to me. Many of us really believe that it may become necessary to forcefully resist a tyrannical government someday or at least have the ability to threaten to do so.
Sure. We each have our own theories, our own takes on it...but why should your theory supercede your having to acquire your firearms under the requirements of reasonable gun control laws?
