I believe in my rights, but I sure as heck am NOT going to advertise to the government what I (allegedly) own. I, as a law abiding citizen, sure as heck do NOT want to get into a shoot out with the police over gun ownership. They may or may not agree with the laws, but they have orders to follow. Plausible deniability is better for self preservation. If you didn't believe in self-preservation, you most probably would not own a gun (other than as a hobby or for hunting).

Let's quit the chest pounding and do the smart thing. Just like in the game Whack-a-Mole, whoever pops his head up gets pounded!
