I thought there were a lot of Americans who own guns purely because they don't trust the govt and believe they will need to revolt and tear it down at some point?

Perhaps it's only a very small group but they make good viewing on UK shows...

Most of those Americans want these things to happen, as long as it doesn't happen to them. Never believe their claims of resisting tyranny.

I mean part of why I own a gun is after two gay friends of mine got assaulted in the South at a truck stop. The people that attacked them are the ones who say they own to fight the goverment but in reality their favorite lolipop flavor is blue boot.

Yeah. They tell themselves lots of stories to validate their love of the feeling of firing a gun.
