I think the idea that an armed citizenry protects us from tyrannical government is a myth certainly today. In fact, I think some of the ideas espoused by some in the gun culture on that subject makes the rest of us look bad. The non-gun owning public won't buy it either I'm afraid.

100% correct.
If nobody in NO, where guns were being used to defend their lives, stood up to stop the gov't from stealing them then it will never happen on a large scale. The issue will go to the courts, not the barricades.
Given only a small fraction of shooters even bother to write a check to the NRA/ILA I find it laughable that many comment how armed rebellion would ensue if guns were confiscated. Most of these people can't bother getting out of the recliner to get the television remote...
