fact is, it is none of the gov. **** business if I have one or ten weapons. The only reason to know is so when they get good and ready, they can come get them.(with your approval, evidently.)

Don't need a gun for a armadillo....got a 68 Buick.

Please expand on your proposal to beef up the National Guard as an alternative to private gun ownership. It is the first time I've ever heard such a suggestion. Please give examples of how it could be used to protect civil liberties.

Specifically, how quickly could they get to my house if sometime at 3am I heard the sound of breaking glass?

If people become accountable for their weapons then the pressure to eliminate them will reduce.

There is the possibility that if I and others were given enough weapons and ammunition, that I could learn to trust my government in the way that they do not trust me. It might depend on "how many others".
