And be sure to have plenty of ammunition on hand, in large capacity clips. Just in case some crazy person starts to shoot up the mall or your office, and everyone else pulls out their guns and starts mistakenly shooting at you.

How can shooting be a mistake? It's a constitutional right. Shoot early, shoot often.

I am more worried about the government. At least I can sleep at night knowing I have the right to defend myself against government tyranny.

Make sure you keep the US military well funded, can't have them attacking the populace with crappy weapons.

Funny you should say that. We went back to the car dealer we bought a car off 9 months ago and he checked the oil - and told us we're supposed to change it after 5,000 miles . Well, I'm no mechanic, but in the UK it got a fuel change about every year along with its service and MOT.
