Nice find! The right to bear arms is one of the last forms of defense we have in this country from a government out of control
These guns aren't being used against your out of control government/s but against each other, mainly the poor white and ethnic communities.

Problem is: no American is ever going to win a fire fight with the police.

You don't need to win the fire fight, the fact that as a collective we have acces to firearms is what keeps them from running roughshod over us in the first place.

These guns are helping keep people poor.

That's ok. I'm an American, I own a gun, and I don't get our obsession with them, either.
It seems to be part of our DNA over here. Maybe there's something in the water...
To me, it's just another tool that I'll probably never need (like my toe-kick saw).
It is kinda fun to go out and shoot some cans, though.
