I've never understood the idea that owning a gun is somehow a safeguard against some whimsically hypothetical tyrannical government. It's like stockpiling for a zombie apocalypse; it isn't going to happen, but if it did you'd be screwed anyway. There are certainly legitimate reasons to own a gun, but that doesn't seem like one of them.

Living in fear of some remotely possible future, based on irrational expectations, is no way to live your life. Being afraid and paranoid all the time will only make you miserable, poor, and probably dead faster.
