In which case all firearms should be kept in a locked doomsday safe, only to be opened in the event of revolution.
you give government the keys to your life
Exactly. Sometimes the government will use those keys to get into your house and tap your phone. Other times it might leave a cake. Sometimes it may just stab you with them repeatedly. It doesn't change the fact that you gave them the keys in the first place, and you have the right to take them back. But we don't. We just sit around and bitch to each other about how bad our shank-wounds hurt while the government watches. Just about anything and everything that transpires in the government is our own doing. As such we need to take a little responsibility for the governments actions instead of demonizing them like a leper.
