rb, it really comes down to whether or not you believe freedom is real or just something you like to dream about. I will not be disarmed. I will not be ordered around or off my own property, I don't care who or what you are. I make my own decisions, my own fate. If self determination is sociopathic to you, then what do you consider non-sociopathic?

It's a cold, precision instrument of absolute power over life and death that you can hold in your hand. With it you can vanquish even the most powerful foe with only the pulling of a trigger and an unleashing of unmistakable power and flash and noise. Moreover, it's a part of the conservative mythology, about great men fighting against an unbeatable opponent with just their wits and their guns, like David standing before Goliath with just a stone and sling. It's considered a sacred right, having a gun, and anyone that challenges that right assumes the roll of a mythical villain, the evil, powerful, corrupt government usually. Objectivity doesn't even enter into the equation, the roles are already established and any differences between a beat cop coming around to collect guns and an evil government operative working on behalf of the Orwellian leftist administration aren't even perceived.
I've spoken to people that would make our DK seem like a liberal, anti-gun pinko. This is what they live, each one believing him or herself to be the storybook hero in an epic battle with pure evil.
I mean no disrespect, DK, but my understanding of gun culture comes from a very, very different place than yours. I'd still be honored to fight back to back with you should we ever find ourselves in true danger.

it doesn't matter what other 'groups' you've talked to will and it doesn't even have to be a gun with me. I'll use swords, knives, ball bats, even my bare hands. I refuse to back down anymore.

you're either free or you're not.
