It is counterintuitive but the more you believe your government is going to do the right thing, the more you actually take stands to make this so. If you automatically assume that the government will do nothing but hurt you, you're part of a culture that only makes it worse, not better. If you really think that these weapons are doing anything for liberty, then why didn't they stop the PATRIOT Act or the NSA wiretapping or about a million other crimes from happening? At the very least, why didn't YOU actually go and try to fight them with your weapons over it? Because the whole argument is complete bullshit. They allow such lax weapon laws because having a gun gives its owner the illusion of power, while having none of it in reality. It is hard for me to take seriously the dudes that both tell me their weapons keep them free and then go and vote for dudes like Bush and Trump who do nothing but sign away all their other rights time and again.
