Interesting take. Even still, I'd rather have the means of self defense when the time comes, then be disarmed and have even less of a chance when the death squads roll up.
Exactly what I'm talking about. I didn't mention disarming or anything to insinuate that but you just resorted to it as a talking point which shut down all other thinking and reasoning.
...Without the Second Amendment, they will IMMEDIATELY come for every gun. Disarming is not a question of "if" when it comes to corrupt government. (But I repeat myself.)
With regards to the populace having the ability to remind our evil overlords who's boss? No. Without civilians who are armed to the teeth and capable of retaliating if pushed too far, everything else becomes moot as the government and military have literally no reason not to go full totalitarian. It's why they HAVE to resort to these subversive tactics. They can't risk open war with the civilians.

Do you think there are other issues that are also important aside from the 2nd Amendment?
