Claim: Civilians carrying guns helps counter the tyranny of the government.

Reality: Ignorant fucks who don't know shit about politics, don't vote, have no critical thinking skills, and take no personal responsibility for the condition of their country cause the tyranny of government.

Your guns are irrelevant and relegated to an implausible redneck survival fantasy in which the government suddenly decides to impose martial law, all because a statesman three hundred years ago said that was how it would go down- centuries before the internet, the machine gun, the sniper rifle, nuclear weapons, fighter jets, and tanks all made large swaths of Enlightenment-era political thought utterly obsolete.

If our country ever goes down the shitter into totalitarianism- or worse, anarchy- it won't be by force, it won't be a gunfight. It will be because too many people are way too fucking stupid to perpetuate a healthy democratic state. Healthy democracy requires an enlightened electorate. So quit fucking talking about big government toting a gun to your door- its irrelevant and serves no purpose in justifying the ownership of a gun. You want to protect your freedom? Read a fucking book.
