That's not precisely my point.  My point is the laws up there require
you to leave if possible, but most people would disagree with that concept
where I came from.  Violently, if necessary.

You seem like a (mostly) reasonable peace loving person.  That is great,
it would be great if all or even most people were as peace loving as you
are.  However, history and the facts (and nature) have ensured this is
not the case.  That is why I and many others choose to retain the option
of defending ourselves, even against our government, if necessary (and
this option is provided for in our Constitution).  I make no bones about
it - this is not about recreational use of firearms primarily.  At the most
basic level, it is not even about firearms at all - firearms are just a
tool.
