I guess freedom is never free.
I'm not sure exactly what I fear most in losing the American right to bear arms.
Guns aren't something I use everyday in the respect that I clean, fire or even fondle them daily. But they are always close ...yet ...and that gives me some peace of mind that I'm not entirely helpless should extreme violence find me or my family. Sometimes it's closer than one thinks. I don't want to register any info that might be used to search. I'm sure many of you have seen these links but if you haven't, look now:

New Orleans Police, guards and coast guard (7 Min 49 Secs)
Or maybe I just fear the general loss of independence of my individual rights, one by one. That seems to happen everytime I'm told to comply for my own good.
Then there is always that Black Helicoptor scenario that Jamo likes to bring up.
I heard that maybe Japan did not attack the US west coast because they understood that citizens were armed in this country. And today nobody dares openly attack this country in military infantry fashion. Great.
But really most loss of freedom in the world has probably occurred internally. Eventually a well-armed "Royal Guard" goes house to house neutralizing "insurgents".
The time for defending ones family with ordinary guns in this case has come and gone. If modern US Royal Guard comes to our house today, they will be so superiorly armed that open resistance is already futile. No doubt.
But there is still that merit left for retaining arms on a personal level:

I think we should publicly register the names, addresses and phone numbers of the people that come up with this "control" BS.
And then they can put a sign in front of their house that says, "The people that live in this house are un-armed. Please don't hurt us."
And sometimes new technology isn't better:
