This is thought by some to be an archaic stance but it is historically accurate. Just ask any country who tried to take over another when every farmer was shooting at you.

So you're afraid that the US will violently be taken over by another country? That's doesn't seem to be the most likely scenario. I understand people being afraid of terrorist attacs. I too, living in pretty much peaceful Sweden worry about it when planning vacations for instance. Some places are just ruled out for me since I fear that I would end up where a bomb might go off.
Isn't the fact that the reason why people get guns is to defend themselves to intruders, robbers, kidnappers etc. --> other people with guns?
