Im not answering your question because its irrelevant.
That fact that you do not answer it displays your underlying bias and inability to address the larger, more strategic and political reasons for an armed populace.
I am sure everyone in Syria thought there would never be an issue until there was. To claim that a nation is immune for possible collapse shows a profound and childlike understanding of history.
And the discussion is quite simple, the government cannot remove our right to bear arms (and other rights) without fear of themselves being removed.
The USA is not Syria. You will never have a despot leader as democracy is firmly established in your country. Can you really not see that?

It is with my most sincere wishes that you may pass through this life without knowing what is really out there. I have witnessed it; I have been it. If you are fortunate enough to not see or ever see it, I am truly happy for you; just leave people like me and my rights alone as they apparently do not concern you.
