The reasons that it's here should be apparent.

NRA boss LaPierre: Americans fear their country ‘off the rails’ under Obama

Wayne LaPierre’s message targets middle class worried about U.S. direction, security, freedom


Wayne LaPierre

By Kelly Riddell - The Washington Times - Thursday, September 4, 2014

The National Rifle Association has unleashed a multimillion-dollar TV advertising campaign that its longtime leader says is aimed at messaging beyond gun rights and reaching middle-class mothers, minorities and other Americans “who believe our country is off the rails.”
 
The gun lobby’s campaign, launched in the last 10 days, uncharacteristically delves into issues far beyond the Second Amendment to explore the IRS scandal, media elitism and security vulnerabilities, with a call to return “good guys” to power.

“This campaign is a gathering of shared values that gives a sense of right and wrong,” NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre told The Washington Times in an interview. The collection of issues the ads confront are representative of the conversations Mr. LaPierre said he has had throughout the country with NRA members and concerned citizens.
 
In Mr. LaPierre’s 36-year career as a policy activist, he feels the American public has never been more worried about this country’s future.

“They’re worried the character of the country is at risk. It’s all collapsing,” Mr. LaPierre said. “They care about their Second Amendment freedoms but understand that all freedoms are connected.”

Emphasis is mine.  It really is all interconected.  And the 2nd Amendment is the guarantor of the other Amendments.

This is kind of along the same line ^, though it's about overseas.

This morning Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said he ran into a friend who had been an intelligence officer in No. Africa at the time of the Benghazi attack.  He told Gohmert that he was out of the intelligence business and the government because this Administration has made him scared. 

Gohmert said that this government has been very insidious towards our patriots out in the field and it needs to be exposed.  He's also afraid that the real players who know won't come forward until they are out of the service.

Sounds like a classical definition for the word "tyranny."
