I know you are trying to defend your right to bear arms and all that jazz, and for the most part much of what you have written is understandable and acceptable (though a little too loose with the language) but you are digging your own hole with this rhetoric. "I don't buy firearms out of fear...I buy them out of ANGER!!! and FRUSTRATION!!!". Sorry, but you sound a little crazed. Maybe you should step back and try and reword some of this, because besides independence and to a lesser extent vigilance (which is many times actually rooted in some form of fear), your word choice is fairly scary and does nothing for your case.

That being said, can we get off the "Civil War 2013 (BYOG)" bandwagon. We're not going to have a civil war over an assault rifle ban and trying to use the fear of such a horrific event in this discussion does nothing but makes anyone using the argument look silly.
