When Janet Reno and the ATF show up at my door, I am coming out with my hands up.

Why are you afraid of Janet Reno? If she comes to your door, she'll likely be driving a pickup truck, and she won't have the ATF with her. Perhaps you mean Alberto "Torquemada" Gonzales?

What does scare me is these militias or drug gangs getting a hold of an AK 47 and blowing my head off. That is what I fear.

Actually, given the myriad of ways to go, that wouldn't be so bad. Quick, relatively painless. Not that I wouldn't want to have a say in the timing, though.
