The fight for personal freedom is preventive, it is better to secure it while it is there, than to fight for it as it is taken away. The humorous part of this is that you support gun ownership, based on a law designed to make citizens able to fight oppressors, but you don't fight the oppressors currently in administration, and their restrictions of your rights. The very essence of the constitutional right to bear arms is to make people able to protect their rights, why not try to protect your rights all the way, before you need to resort to armed struggle? Better safe than sorry.

When did I ever say that I need a gun to fight the establishment? That's not the case. The fact is times change and laws change and people just need to quit their crying. The law isn't being abused. If it is then people can cry all they want, until then everyone needs to quit their whinning. The law is used to put criminals and terrorists behind bars. Why is that soooo bad? Who violates peoples rights more than criminals and terrorists anyway? Should they have the right to do whatever they want when something can be done to stop them?
