Interesting spin on it, your opinions are good at looking true. I still think 300,000 people have died since guns were used by civilians to restore order here at home. Gun-nuts are the bastard children of a very violent American history and a good amount of irrational fear and racial tension. But the gun nuts are before anything simply consumers. Guns were cleverly put in the hands of all heroes on the silver screen cops, cowboys, war movies almost always had minority antagonists. Brilliant marketing and a scared population can produce any fanatic, not to mention guns are pretty exhilarating and release adrenaline when shot. The power and addiction one experiences is significant but they are here and now. The war between and armed populous and its' government in modern times is not going to restore the power grid, or our civilian communication networks. The strategy for the govt is not residential sweeps, it's no Call of Duty landscape, I speculate that if deprived of power, internet, water, and fresh food people become tyrannical against one and other. That high powered civilian arsenal is effective how in this situation? It seems a little hard to wrap my head around the right still as relevant as it once was. Please, I am trying to understand not take anything, I want to hear this tale play out the way you see it. I notice that gun-related homicide are a non issue for most gun people and wonder why that is? The darker side of widespread civilian ownership of powerful guns, ones that could fight in war, is worth acknowledging. A lot more dead people caught in the spray and ricochet and we owe them a good plausible reason. The Right to Bear Arms ends where? What point do we distinguish what arms anyone has the right to have? Which are both safe to the general public and highly destructive as needed in war. Bombs? Chemicals? Biological Arms should be our inalienable right. The Bill of Rights is not able to address this and these are alienable arms. Is this document still flawless, it leaves a lot of ambiguity and shows the illusion of its' basic tenet. Again, there are a lot of unanswered questions for people like me. There are delusions of how a modern revolt would be fought. I ask that those with opinions, facts, or additional perspective keep this clean exchange, we all need a break and let's talk. What is realistic, what is not, where do the changes need to happen......again please be respectful.
