Most things are stupid to fight to the death over, but for one, gun's are my lively hood, I am a gunsmith. I also firmly believe that civilians should be as powerful as possible, to limit government control. You don't have to be a genius to see how often governments stomp on the little guys in their own country, and there are numerous occasion throughout all recorded history of despots trying to remove weapons from civilians, or taking over after weapons were taken..:XDR:.PureFodder wrote:

Because I'm willing to fight to the death to keep my right to guns, I don't know anyone willing to fight to the death to keep the right to speed. And I'm not the only one willing to fight for my right to keep guns. If an all out ban was somehow passed today, I guarantee tomarow you would have a civil war on your hands. The US has millions of legitimate gun owners who would not obey such a ban, I'm not saying millions would fight, but I wouldn't be surprised to see hundreds of thousands fighting. It's not a minority that likes guns, it's makes up almost half the population in the US.
You also have to realize that just about all gun enthusiasts tend to be not quite anti-government, but very against government controls, and taking away guns to us is as bad as taking away freedom of speech.
Just look into the creation of the Roman Republic.
