So, owning guns is about "not being submissive to the government"?
There's a broad variety of reasons to own guns. Some people own guns because the police are not there to protect you and in some areas you NEED protection. Some people own guns because no government fears an unarmed populace, and government only works in the interest of the people when the government fears the people and not the other way around. Some people own guns because to them it is an economically advantageous way to acquire food. All of these are valid reasons in my book.
But the government still taxes these people, without providing a police force? So basically the guys who own firearms are the ones who are being oppresed by their government, and the ones who do not feel the need to own weapons, are the ones who live under good governments.
Let's be honests here: you've never lived under an oppressive government, ever. If you did, you'd realize that your rifle would only get you killed if you tried to buy some freedom of your own with it.
More honesty: you like shooting at things, which is ok. Just don't try to rationalize your gun mania into some kind of fight against a government out to oppress you, because it makes you look stupid.
