and sir ...citizens carry a gun because criminals and over zealous power hungry "individuals" want what they have...be it life, liberty, money, ect ect...and guess what...we "citizens" are attacked WAY MORE OFTEN than those who "serve and protect". the call to defend ones home/state/country can be made in the dark of night...as many many many CITIZENS who VOLUNTEERED for (yes some were drafted) but the MAJORITY gave at will JUST LIKE A PATRIOT will do when and if called...only 3% supported the revolutionary war....what % are you in?
I guess it depends on what you mean by attack. I'm attacked at about 98% of my contacts People have become so civil and free thinking
