[[>>Some people may now be beginning to wonder, if you take away my gun, how am I going to protect myself against black booted thugs from the government bashing down my door.<<

I believe that's the core reason for the right to bear arms.]]

This is true, but only part of the story. The real key is that the government be deterred from a miscalculation that it can establish absolute rule through confiscation with acceptable losses. This is why the registration of weapons must be avoided at all costs, in order to maintain a healthy level of doubt of success in the minds of the would be rulers. Without registration, every household is a potential unquantifiable threat to a confiscation plan, whether the household actually has or wants a weapon at all.
