When you start talking to real pro-gun folks about why their right to own assault rifles & whatnot is so important, 99% of the time it comes out that they have this juvenile fantasy of being the last bastion of Freedom & Liberty for this hazy future time when the big bad gubmint truly decides to take over. They really feel it's a plausible scenario that they and other gun owners will band together into like an effective resistance force to protect fellow citizens from the Feds or the US Army or the One World Government i.e. UN.
It's just a fairyland left over from playing cowboys & indians at age 8, what cracks me up is that these grown men take it dead serious and have no idea how childish they sound.

Governments always become monsterous tyrants the bigger they get, the worse they get. Look at history there is your answer. You think because we have computers and hidefinition TV we are now magically civilized than we were in 1939.
A few men with guns is bullshit as you say, everybody with guns makes resistance possible. 2nd Anendment ain't about duck hunting or personal security, it's about not being enslaved.
