Awesome post @hlibertarian!

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. A future of freedom is not inevitable. You have to do something to make it a reality.

Of course, a future without the need for firearms is what we should all strive for. Unfortunately in the current day we have armed thugs calling themselves police and government that employ violence as a means to coerce compliance from a tacit population.

I hope one day to witness a raise in consciousness to the level that government is abolished and violence is replaced with freedom. That day seems distant. Disarming of a general public, subject to armed governments, will not bring us there any sooner.

I like how @maxigan puts it; "if governments want to get rid of all the guns, that's fine... we should tell them YOU FIRST."
