I hope you and your friends are gun ownership advocates. Because history has proved again and again that "principles" such as yours mean squat when the government can force you to comply at gunpoint.
If they know you are armed and will shoot on sight, they do not pass stupid laws like DMR since they know thay have no way to enforce it, because cops or the army will not go along with this, and the local bureaucrat in his fancy blue uniform will be scared shitless to go knock on your door to make sure you complied.
This is why most lenders do not make mortgage loans on mobile homes, because a $50,000 mobile home in the middle of the desert protected by a demented vietnam veteran and his three cousins with 2 fully automatic M-16s, a couple SKSs and an arsenal of handguns is not worth the risk to the local sheriff or to the bank's repo officer.
And I am not talking about 9mm pistols. I'm talking fully automatic AK-47, M-16s, sniper rifles, uzis, and machine guns (like M60). Go to Texas sometimes. They could rearm the Iraqi army by themselves. Politicians would never pass DRM regulations in Texas, and if the feds did, it would be thoroughly ignored.
There is a popular bumper sticker in Texas that goes like this: "Politician only fear one thing: peasants with guns."
"Piter, too, is dead."
