Gun ownership has nothing to do with rights, or the constitution, or defending yourself from tyranny. The Government of the US is the same now as it has been at any time since Eisenhower made his farewell speech. Same shit, different assholes.
The only person to have had the courage of his convictions and actually stood up to the "Federal Government", back in 1995, is classified as a maniac and domestic terrorist.
Red Dawn survivalist fantasies aside, there is no way to fight the US Government. 250 years ago Brits had the same weapons as the insurgents, now the Government can crush anyone it wants to like an ant. If the 2nd Amendment meant anything, and if the point really was to defend against 'tyranny', then people would be allowed to bear the same arms as the Government, up to and including nukes.
Of course the Government wouldn't allow people to have weapons that can threaten the Government. But AK-47s that can waste a bunch of other useless eaters that our overlords don't give a single fuck about? Sure, knock yourselves out.
Guns will not be banned while businesses are making $$$$$$$ from them. It's one thing the USA is still good at, making shit that destroys things. Civil liberties and the Constitution have nothing at all to do with it, and gun nuts are just supporting the very system they think they're defending themselves from.
