"I have always presented a challenge to those that espouse this theory to show me one instance since our nation was formed where the fact that we have private ownership of firearms either prevented or reversed a tyrannical act by our government...".


That's like trying to count how many times you were NOT mugged because you were wearing an unconcealed weapon. In any case, many people are waking up to the fact that we are losing more and more rights every day and that the Federal government is getting more out of control. Look at the recent legislations by several states with regard to gun sales and reminding the Fed goverment of states' rights. We the People own firearms for no other reason than to prevent this tyranny. That is also the reason members of the Fed goverment are trying to disarm the American people.



"In every case where our governments local or federal have acted oppressively our democratic institutions have been used to remedy them(legislatures, courts, executive)."


Not true. The American People were asleep when Congress sneaked by the Constitution and taxed our income. Guess which terrorists are going to show up at your door if you decide to claim your Constititional rights and not pay this illegal tax? The I.R.S., the F.B.I., the BATFE, etc. According to the I.R.S.'s own code, the vast majority of Americans don't fall under the definition as someone required to pay this tax. That's about 90 years of fraud, terrorism, murder, and extortion by the U.S. government so far. This is just ONE act of tyranny. Add all the other juicy tidbits from our government and you will see that Americans are reaching a breaking point.


"The only thing I get back is "Well, you never know! It might happen!". I guess that is possible just like zombies and mars attacking us as well. Hasn't happened in over 220 years but hey one never knows.""

You need to talk to the right people

"It just makes me cringe to see this stuff espoused and it just feeds the antigun people, makes we gun owners look like kooks, and scares the bejesus out of most Americans. If I never heard that theory again it would be too soon but I know it will be back like a bad penny."

I for one pray we don't keep hearing that "theory", but I'm not very optimistic it will go away any time soon, from the looks of things.
