In the off-yet-certain chance that an army comes to take my home and steal my freedom, I'll be ready to kill as many of them as possible!

Do you have smoke detectors or fire extinguishers in your house? Why? The odds that you'll ever need them are so slim.

And....no, never and I hope it stays that way.

What has changed between then and now that don't have that right? It seems to be clearly spelled out in the 2nd Ammendment.
Keep in mind too, that in the only case to directly address the 2nd amendment (US v. Miller), the Supreme Court ruled that the reason Miller's shotgun was NOT protected by the 2nd amendment, was because it was NOT similar to weapons used in the military!

So the liberals with their incessant "assault weapons bans" are repeatedly violating, not just the 2nd amendment, but also the Supreme Court's clear ruling.

I don't think any reasonable person wants to deny you the ability to have a weapon or weapons in your home to defend your family if need be.

Didn't Adam Lanza's mother have a bunch of guns to protect her?

We're not talking about reasonable people.

We're talking about people who think murderers, rapists and other criminals will obey their new laws restricting gun ownership.

Giving guns to a retard and then saying guns don't protect people is like saying that cars kill drunk drivers who don't use seat belts. Its stupid.

I think you're wrong. By trying to ban certain guns they great;y reduce the ability of some people to defend themselves. People of limited physical strength have fewer options for effective gun choices.
