I just don't see that as a valid reason for owning a gun. Self protection against criminals seems like a far more likely reason you would ever need a gun than fighting off your own government.
If you can't understand those quotes then you need to study some history. Put very simply; One man with a gun can control 100 without one. What mechanism do you have to stop your gov't if the public is disarmed? The ballot box? Ha, that won't exist anymore once the public is disarmed. The FEAR of a public uprising keeps gov't in check, just like the fear of jail keeps most citizens in check.

An outright ban on guns? No, probably not. Will they put restriction upon restriction until it is beyond practicality to own one? If they continue with the current logic that's where we're headed.
