Shower Thought about Guns - I don't really care that much about them - I'm not scared of them - I've shot a few - I'm just not into them - death and destruction are not appealing to me - but its weird how many people gather around the 2nd amendment when no one uses it to stand up to gov't oppression

I agree with you to a point, many people who would "never give up their guns" would never use them to fight oppression either.

You do have a few examples though such as Waco (which ended poorly) and the Bundy standoff (which ended well).

And, I know this isn't everyone, but many people have a personal red line that cannot be crossed by the government.
