While I'm certain that more stringent gun control laws will eventually be enacted here in the US there will be revolution in this country before the masses hand them over.

We Americans have a proud history or being stubborn bastards. I grew up in Massachusetts but down here in Virginia the American Civil war is still often referred to as "the war of Northern agrression". Going in to hollows of the mountains in the area life hasn't changed much in the last hundred years. I know many people with no running water or indoor plumbing. I grow some of my own food and kill as much of it as possible (hell, this year I've chased two squirrels down and killed them with my pocket knife. The buggers were getting in to my house and I chased them out) but these folks either raise their own cattle / pigs/ sheep or shoot a lot of game. The government will get their lives before their freedom.
