The most important reason for guns is not for hunting, or home defense but for an armed citizenry to be able to resist a tyrannical government.

I agree 100%. The others are important also though.

I understand some concerns in major metropolitan areas, with people having unfettered access to assualt type weapons. I would actually be for a civilian controlled and ran citizen armory. Where people in the community could raise money for weapons purchase, a shooting range, and gun safety teaching. This would house assualt weapons and munitions. Guns would be checked out for use on the grounds only. This way if in case of some form of need for them, the govvt would not be able to stop the access to them for the citizens.
