Thank you! This is such a biased premise to begin with, and I'm not even going to rise to the bait.
Besides, this has already been done to death in the "culture war" debate. It won't be about guns, it'll be about legislation (mostly at the local level - see Kansas, e.g.) and hegemony. Besides, I think the marjority of Americans are pretty libertarian to begin with (or would be if they really knew what "libertarian" meant) with two small but VERY vocal and very determined wing-nut factions on either end (the "government should provide everything" faction and the "we're a Christian nation" faction, NEITHER of which have much to say about liberty). Don't be fooled into believing this "either-or" crap. It's defeatist and does absolutely nothing to strengthen our country.
