You want to live in a world where the omnipresent and malevolent government has a total and complete monopoly on violence?
As a law abiding citizen the last thing you want or need is a massive statist government "flexing its muscle" on you.
What do you have in your home arsenal that can damage a Bradley when the govt starts to flex on you?
The well armed militia if absolute shit, because this isn't anything close to a unified country, the govt starts flexing and taxes you 50%, half of the country is going to cheer for free healthcare\schooling. The govt start flexing and bans abortions, half of the country are going to cheer for it.
