We are animals. We come from this earth. As much as I do not feel like I am an animal, I know that I am. I believe I was tampered with in the ancient past and now I am not able to adapt to the earth's natural environment, hence I live in a city and I am encouraged to identify soley with my ego, my left-brain, and as such to deny my Animal-Earth-Self.
You are exactly right in your assessment that the powers that be want us separate from natural law, which means we should give up our right to self-defense and let the state take care of us.
I don't own a gun currently, but I know I need to if I am truly able to protect myself during times of unrest.
I also live in Denver and I was unaware of this fact. We are unable to open carry in the city?
Correct - revenue for the concealed carry permit http://www.opencarry.org/florida/colorado/ also I think they keep lists of who's carrying even if they say they don't. I HATE the police.
