You're preaching to the choir, brother!

True, but not many people are willing to finish such a line of logical reasoning.

Gun control represents a key cornerstone of the modern state, its claim of monopoly of violence (i.e. guns are a tool of the state) and therefore the final arbiter of right and wrong (there's your specific actions). So the state now has incentive to provoke conflict with the citizenry in order to resolve those conflicts in its own favor. The private citizen would have to be insane to voluntarily submit to such an agreement. Therefore the implied social contract that the modern state uses to claim legitimacy is really just an imaginary agreement signed under threat of violence, and the governments imposing gun control are nothing more than criminal, gangster regimes.

All that has been said above regarding violence being the province of the modern state is exactly what the antis believe. What frightens me most is when that violence meets the convenience of the state! There is even a word for it, expedience." You are an incovenience!" "Good bye!"
