Please refer me to the paragraph in our Constitution where you are granted the right to "overthrow the government". I'm all ears.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Amendment II A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Dianne Feinstein is a SAINT! You hear me? A SAINT!
Seriously, I'll give up my guns as soon as she gives up her armed security detail. Why should I be left defenseless??

I don't understand why everyone that disagrees with a gun ban is a gun nut? Most of us are just completely sane people that understand that guns aren't actually the problem with this country. Someone who understands that the type of guns being set up for bans are the least commonly used in crimes. They are actually banning an entire class of weapons based on a very few crimes (like single digits). If they were interested in stopping crime they would be banning handguns and talking up crime statistics, as opposed to running an agenda on emotions aimed at a class of weapons that are almost non existent in American crime, but are popular with gun ethusiasts.

It will get watered down, Wal-Mart is now making a rule that a person can Only buy 3 boxes of any ammo per day.
