The Gun Fetish
Given that armed insurrection against a government possessing satellites, fighter planes, tanks, and long-range artillery (not to mention nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons) is likely to fail, I don't really get why the right wing is so hung up on the right to bear arms.
After all, in terms of importance, the right to own a gun ranks somewhere between the right to install a fire alarm in your house and the right to own a tennis racket. Maintaining these rights is important of course (could you imagine if the government outlawed tennis rackets?), but it seems to me that there are better ways to spend your time.
Surely it makes more sense to fight for the weapons that have been effective: freedom of speech, a free and functioning press, governmental transparancy, free and fair elections, checks and balances, a well-educated populace, etc.
Really, if you're in a position where you have to fight the U.S. government with guns, you've already lost — the only effective strategy would be to terrorize innocent civilians. Do the gun nuts believe we need a right to terrorism, too?
