Jon Stewart said it well about the jews being armed, the armies of the UK, US, France and Russia took years to be able to defeat the Nazis, a couple of armed civilians wouldn't have stopped shit.
The same goes if the US government wanted to take your weapons (which they clearly don't want to) you aren't going to be doing shit if the army comes, how you defending yourself against tyranny then? you want to legally own tanks? surface to air missles?
All of the things suggested by Obama makes clear sense, better background checks, increasing the tracking of guns, appointing an ATF director, funding into gun crime research. How do you think the government are doing anything bad?
