I've got news for you, if things do really escalate in this country to where you're concerned they might, a state requiring armed insurrection, it's going to be the daddy state that's responsible. Because of that, most of the armed populace, those enamored with the Second Amendment, will join the escalation instead of fight against it. You and I will find ourselves on the same side facing most of the people Dunedan described buying up all those guns and ammo.

Will, all you are doing is listening to one of the squeaky wheels and equating that with 'most', when it's not really as accurate as you claim it to be. I seriously doubt that anything i'm going to put in this post is ever going to change your opinion on the issue, but as I said before, it's relatively easy to get a gauge of just how large this sentiment is throughout the country. I'm not saying that it's even 10 percent of the country with those feelings, or even 5%, though it could certainly grow to that.
Your line of thought process in this is not much different than most others in the world, where you think that every warm body in government service is going to be in lockstep with their government orders, and that just couldn't be any further from the truth.
Don't listen to me though, i'm just another rightwing gun nut who thinks the federal government is the enemy.
