I certainly think that the overwhelming narrative from the NRA/Conservatives is that the right to bear arms exists in order for the citizenry to be able to rise up against a tyrannical government. This is how they would argue for the automatic weapons etc.

I had to drive to the other side of the state of NC yesterday and while there I turned on the radio. The programming was a conservative talk show and they were comparing Obama's executive orders to HItlers. Saying that Hitler confiscated all of the Jews guns and only allowed his friends and cronies to have weapons and that this is the direction Obama was heading. wtf?

I have grandparents that witnessed WWII, and as children were displaced from their homes etc. They remember Hitler's Germany well and they are Obama supporters. The conservative media sure likes to throw around the Hitler comparisons and it's an insult to people that actually remember that monster. By the way, I felt the same way when idiots on the left were comparing GWBush with Hitler too.
