Yeah, but...
I'd just as soon be left the "heck" alone to live out my days in peace - as we are entitiled to do, being American citizens - and not be murdered by socialist thugs fighting for what is mine, namely my rights as guaranteed by our Constitution.
Grey 54956, you speak the truth. Here's the problem I have with your scenario:Folks, the gov't can only take your guns away if you let them.
They can only take them if, when they drive down the road in the gun collection / amnesty truck, you carry out your collection and throw it in the back. Or, if they bust your door down armed for bear. Either way, you are going to have to decide whether or not you are going to comply with their law.

Source: http://www.smartcommunities.org/library_alone.htmThe concept of the right to be left alone dates back to a 1928 Supreme Court wiretapping decision called Olmstead vs. the United States in which the Supreme Court Justice Brandeis said "the protection guaranteed by the amendments (of the Constitution) is much broader in scope. The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness. They recognized the significance of man’s spiritual nature, of his feelings and of his intellect . . . They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions, and their sensations. They conferred as against the government the right to be left alone -- the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men."
