Having the capability to overcome a government that becomes oppressive is the reason for the Second Amendment. Anyone who has read the Declaration Of Independence should understand that having guns or a means to defend freedom is actually a requirement for being a citizen of a free country.
Self defense is both for protection from evil doers who invade your personal residence as well as from governments that attempt to remove your freedom. Hunting for game is one of the benefits and not as necessary anymore since this country is capable of supplying this need.
For these reasons alone I will eventually own a gun some day.

I agree. Rifles and pistols are no longer enough to defeat a tyranical govt. Since the Constitution is a "living, flexible document", the right to bear arms should include the right to own tanks, fighter jets, flame throwers and the like. I'm still undecided about nuclear weapons, I at least think the individual states should be allowed to stockpile them rather than individual citizens.
