The rest are home defenders, and oh yes, lastly there is a small group of tin-foil hat right wing nut jobs, who think they could do an armed insurrection, but for the most part, in reality they would never risk their jobs, families and homes in order to make a political point in a country that for all it's faults still gets to pick it's own government every few years. That leaves the hard core nuts. They'd get about as far as The Republic of Texas nuts did a few years back, which was like, mostly shot or in prison.

My favorite in-expensive gun is the Browning Hi-Power clone sold by Fabrique Nationale, they are a few hundred bucks cheaper than the real thing and are so close in quality to the real thing it is amazing.
