I'd rather live with all the freedom I'll ever need and little to no danger, where I can rely on the police or the health service when I need to. Trust me if you realised how awesome it was you guys might think different, fending for your self is fine in small numbers but when you've got all of America back into a different corner with a gun problems happen.
And there we go back to "need". And who determines how much freedom you "need" and why you need it? Mother government? You do like being told your place don't you...
And if all of America is backed into a corner? What's that supposed to mean? National Apocalypse? If for some reason the government breaks down and government services stop functioning I'm going to want my guns all the more thank you. Imagine motorcycle gangs of 20 guys with knives and clubs roaming around. A gun would most certainly come in handy.
It's notable that, during Katrina, the armed communities with "looters will be shot" signs on their porches stayed pretty safe while the city-bound refugees at the camps were ruled by criminals and gangs. In New Orleans a group of 20 armed police officers trying to restore order was held off by gangs.
Not that I'm holding onto my guns for that reason, but if you think the potential meltdown of government is an argument for gun control... wow that's stupid.
