Ladies and Gentlemen,
My wife and I are devoted Democrats.
I own a small arsenal; a single shot .22 rifle, I use it to teach my grandkids to be responsible with firearms, two 22 Ruger pistols, two 1911s, two .40 S&W Pistol, 30.06 Pump action rifle, a mini-14, .380 Pistol, 30-30 W Rifle. and enough ammo for all.
I am also retired from the USA, went to four wars and a conflict down in South America.
I was trained by the Iraqis on MOUT. It should have been the other way around but I had a lot to learn from them. We taught them how to use our weapons and they taught us how to deploy against the insurgents in unconventional ways.
I am ready.
Our enlistment oath has no end date.
USA (R)

I agree with your last line. But my point is, unlike a farmer in 1776, I am going to be outmatched in firepower.
