Well, many of the people defending gun ownership are doing so under the pretense of protection
Which is a mistake, imho. The gun control advocates have caused that to be framed in that context.

But is your reason for owning a gun to defend against gov't overreach? And given the types of munitions available to the gov't, isn't that a great argument in favor of citizens being able to own rocket launchers and tanks?
How many citizens and guns are owned at this time? How many of those citizens are in the military and would side with those folks and their Constitutional Rights? Do you really think the Gov't would destroy infrastructure with tanks and rocket launchers? Do you not think ownership is a deterrent in it's own right?

I have no idea how many citizens would side w/ folks and their constitutional rights, and neither do you. That's a silly argument. My instinct is that most people will side w/ their paycheck, though, but I admire your faith in the idealism of our gov't employees when it happens to suit your argument.
