Both my boys have their own sniper rifles, and know how to use them. ;^) In fact, I know a lot of people who use sniper rifles just for fun, including women and children. Personally my eyesight isn't so great and I don't really enjoy shooting, but for some it's just a lot of fun. There are at least 70 million Americans that own guns, but less than 2 million active duty military, so even if the unlikely coup attempt did occur those are not bad odds. It really is true that when dictators take over, the first thing they do is confiscate firearms from the general populace. I have been reading Alan Furst's series of novels about WWII (which, by the way, are excellent) -- people in the Resistance are always scrambling for weapons or getting in trouble because they own weapons. That's just the way it was. Big Brother doesn't want you to have guns. And anything Big Brother wants, I oppose, just on general principles.
