Then you wouldn't be one of the people who claim they would fight to keep their guns, now wouldn't you.
I suppose the IF I were a participant in the insurrection, then I would be fighting against a government that didn't respect the constitutional rights of its citizens. I would be fighting a tyrannical government that was trying to disarm its citizens. The violation of constitutional rights combined with the effort to disarm the citizenry is a double whammy. We would have no real constitutional rights anymore, and we would be disarmed. I could imagine that being unacceptable to me.
Several people in this discussion have said that they wouldn't hand over their guns. I don't have to fight to keep my guns. I can keep my guns without a fight. But after keeping my guns, there is still the little problem of a government that I will feel has gone rogue.
