What ever other benefits guns have brought freedom from tyranny isn't one of them, in fact the US has been easily the least 'free' of the 'free world' through most of its history.

Well that's an opinion yes. I am not saying yours is wrong and mine is right. It's just one I don't fully agree with. I respect yours , it's hard to change the minds of people ( and me) when ever we were brought up with guns as a part of our life. I know this is the ole "I have owned many guns as have my friends and we have never shot anyone" argument but I guess I do kind of feel that way. Even though I agree with controls I don't think you will ever convince me that I should never be allowed to own even one gun.
