When and why will we need all these guns to revolt against the government
The central argument for gun ownership seems to be a paranoia about defending ourselves against the government trying to provide free health care and roads and schools for us. What is the catslyst for this revolution?
Right now! Because !

government trying to provide free health care and roads and schools for us. Free? They are not free, these services are payed for by taxes that you are forced to pay, you have no other option but to pay for their product/service. What is the catalyst for this revolution? I assume you are not very knowledgeable of history, but please, go read up on revolutions and what caused them. Go read up on oppressive governments and regimes. "We have a problem with you, government! Make these guns legal so we can rebel against you" said no one, that simply not how it works. When people ask for their guns they aren't saying "we need them to rebel right now" they are saying "if the government becomes oppressive at a later point in time we are ready." Side: Right now! Because !

Here's where your argument falls apart. They aren't TAKING our guns we are GIVING them. The very reason we don't need guns is because we live in a country were we have the option. You might not like it, but the majority does. If that chances then you have nothing to worry about. But currently, you're loud unpopular and on the wrong side of history. Side: We won't. That's stupid

Nobody is giving them to the government, gun control by definition is taking them away. Owning a gun is optional, but that isn't why we don't need them. We need them because it takes guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. It is not just about protecting against oppressive government but the right to private protection. Side: Right now! Because !

Governments seem to go in cycles. Russia was once communist and it is more capitalist. We may end up being more communist. The people with guns don't like communism and the government has better weapons. So gun owners need all the help they can get ;) Side: Right now! Because !
