Lacrymosa,
If you'll check your history, you'll see the Civil War
with the focal point on slavery, started the same way and banded the good and bad on both sides. Who knows years later
who was good or bad? You always hear that Quantrell's Raiders were bad and the Kansas Redlegs were good. Both fought the same type war. Both were guerrilas not actually bound to the military. Many movies have shown Quantrell and Bloody Bill Anderson as bad, but only "The Outlaw Josey Wales" cast the Redlegs as bad and Bloody Bill and company as good. Do you feel maybe who won that war played a part in who is looked on with favor? Probably since you don't own guns and aren't around that many that do, you very well may be underestimating a great number of the gun owner's belief in the 2nd Amendment.
