What absolute bull. First and foremost, an armed citizenry is a bullwark against tyrannical government. Plus, the right to self-defense is inherent. That is the way the American Founders saw it - and they were quite correct in this. History is peppered with examples of their wisdom in this matter.
Never trust a government which does not trust you and wishes to make you weak and dependent.
