There's a few reasons why we rebelled against the British, one of them being firearm confiscation. It's still possible.
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed – unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. – James Madison
A sword never kills anybody; it is a tool in the killer's hand. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you.

Gun bans don't disarm criminals, gun bans attract them. – Walter Mondale
