In fact it's a choice between personal freedom, and succumbing to a potential dictatorship. Government cannot provide your safety, and confiscating guns will only ensure your slavery. The people of China understand that reality very well. And over a billion people are treated like animals because they have no means of protecting themselves against their communist dictatorship. Remember one thing.
Governments can and do turn on their own people.
Don't ever forget, when they mention gun control, the key word is control. Gun control in every case transposes perfectly into people control.
