People like you make me cry for this country because you call our rights "privledges" and that is what allows others to take them away.
I am not imposing anything on you, I am warning you that something is coming whether you like it or not, its not necessarily what I want, but in the end, when the march of tyranny can't be stopped by other means, violence becomes necessary. It is the cycle that has perpetuated the world for centuries if not millenia. Again, you can not like or accept it all you want, but it is there and always will be.
If people shouldn't rise up to protect that which is to be their rights, then why do we even have them? No one "votes" for a revolution, and no one ever 100% agrees with one side or another. Hell, ultimately this is a red herring anyways as they will NEVER pass an outright gun ban in this country ever.
I think you overstimate both the affect that the proposals that are out there now will have on the overall security of everyone, and I think you want someone like me to blame for the violence of others. Both perfectly understandable, but don't accuse me of oppressing you because I choose to defend our rights. That makes YOU the tyrant.
