^ Those are helpful, precautionary "tools" oftentime required by laws meant to protect the least common denominator among us from themselves (innocents or nitwits who drink soup with forks) IMO. Helmets for skateboarders, smoke alarms in every other room- except for bathroom where they are really needed- car seats for 4 year olds, etc. It should be my right to opt for knee pads when I scoot or garden for that matter. Pheh...
I don't own a firearm. I don't have the fear either. I don't live in a ghetto and I wouldn't be able to stop (legally anyway) Government thugs from invading my home- even with loaded howitzer & landmines .
Funny thing is, I thought about joining a militia a while back during the Slick Willy era, but there are many more pressing issues these days like maintaining income flow, eating, and keeping a home to protect.
Knock yourselves out if you want to add to your bazooka collection. I don't begrudge that.
It's a free country.... I know, I know, you wanna keep it that way.
Look, if I cannot stop folks from violating me or my family with my hands or brains... I'm just not going to fantasize about turning into Arnold Schwarzenegger or Charles Bronson in my mind. The reality is that many of us of us are really Peewee Hermans or blustering Fred G. Sanfords at heart. Besides, I can stop 'em cold with my good looks. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
IMHO, guns will be an absolute necessity only if society completely breaks down into chaos. However, if that happens will you REALLY be prepared to be a "survivalist" and live without creature comforts, family, and friends? I've tried "survival camping" (got an award too) and believe me it's not what it's cracked up to be. LOL!!
