Good points MM. It is also important to remember that ultimately the 2A is what ensures that we are citizens and not serfs. I am not saying we are anywhere close to armed revolt, but if we were, and we were disarmed beforehand, we would be totally screwed. The plight of the people in Burma is a prime example of what can happen when a populous is disarmed.

I can also guaranty you that if this country became a true theocracy, many Christians would be next to you atheists or whatever to remove our government. State religion is not something that we desire anymore than you do.
