GEORGE BERISH, armed citizens (not military) defeated our enemies in WW1,WW2 and some conflicts. between Lexington and now, this is the only example you could come up with to justify having guns? no corrupt monarchy anymore, unless you are referring to the Trumps and his son-in-law. although I can find a lot of reasons not to trust our government, tyranny is not one of them. armed Americans are not prepared to defend our country from its enemies, or our government, I believe that is what you are alluding to, you think, you will have too defend yourself  from our government from taking your guns away. I love guns (big guns) but I have no use for it, we have police, National Guard, military, besides, in Hawaii you can buy guns, so what's the point of your letter?
