> No, my logic is that it's a problem to give up your other rights but throw a fit about any mention of gun control because "MAH GUNS"! My argument is also that it's incredible paranoia to talk about how your guns are going to keep you safe from your government. < I am sorry, but I refuse to believe that you're participating in this thread because you care so much about our other rights. You don't, period. Every other argument you're making(like bringing up Australia) betrays your sentiment. I don't want to give any of my rights, but I DEFINITELY don't want to give my right to keep and bear arms nor my first amendment rights. > Again, do you really think Australians are having trouble sleeping at night because they are afraid they might wake up and "Oh, military rule. Guess we'll just go with that then". < Let them sleep peacefully. I don't give a crap. If you live in America, then move to Australia. If you already live in Australia then sleep peacefully there. As far as I am concerned, the healthy skepticism about the government is the best thing about America.
