Waco isn't comparable to people having guns to defend themselves. The Branch Davidians never had a population of 150 million. They were also breaking the law by stockpiling automatic weapons. And David Koresh was having sex with minors if I remember correctly.

Of course a tyrannical dictatorship is highly unlikely, but I don't see how it's ignorant for someone to feel the need to defend themselves against whomever is oppressing them. It might be a little bit of an alarmist view if that is why you own guns, but not ignorant. If you wanted to "take over" a country so to speak, wouldn't you think twice about it if you knew that more citizens than not own weapons with which to defend themselves?
