You know...Like supporting the Patriot Act, wanting to ban gay marriage, wanting Marijuana to stay illegal.
in other words your saying you dont trust the government and therefore you need guns to protect yourself from the govt (im in favor of the right to bear arms btw) however you then trust the government to wire tap, spy, and you invite them into the bedroom to tell people who they can and cant be with, and even trust them to say what we can and cant put into our bodies.
I mean no offense by this, but it just doesnt make any sense to me.

It is funny, the other side of things is the same way on different issues. Now it is not about trusting or not trusting the government. Those that have guns because they fear a tyrannical power are not in fear of it from our current form of government. It is what could happen later. Many of the gun owners that I know do not own for this purpose. They own because they know that it will take me between fifteen and twenty minutes to get to their house if someone breaks in.
