Our forefathers were smart indeed, yet never likely beholding the power of guns in the future (hello-our current time period)...have your muskets please and be ready to un-victimize yourself!! And are you implying that owning a firearm will protect you FROM "the government"? Explain this please oh great gun owner....oh great EMPOWERED ONE!!! Are you loaded and ready?? Are you paranoid?? Think someone is out to get you??
