if those rights are taken away whats going to stop the goverment from turning on its own people? Not to mention home invasions by thugs who illegally otained guns? i dont own a gun because i live in a safe neighborhood but if i were to move back to the ghetto i would surely own a gun!
Who is saying that anyone is going to take those rights away?
Any government takes advantage of its people. The powerful will always try to take as much as they can get without causing open rebellion.
And it isn't difficult for a "thug" to legally obtain a gun, especially if he has internet access and your credit card info.
I do live in the ghetto. I do own a gun (several, in fact). Almost everyone in my apartment building owns a gun. So far, no home invasions or violent assaults (except a few domestic squabbles), but they do like to go outside and shoot them into the air on most major holidays (including Christmas Eve for some reason).
