Well, there aren't many papists agitating for violent overthrow and force conversion these days. But, in modern times, the sentiment of his attempted blow against a tyrannical gov't seems to be the mantle the Guy shoulders. Our side eschews instigating the first blow, too. I trust.
"Remember remember the 5th of November, gun powder, treason, and plot. I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot." Cultural imagery alien to most Americans. On one hand a tragic figure, military hero, and an example of the noble individual "taking on the Man", but also traitor, attempted murderer, and failed revolutionary. Movies like "V for Vendetta" glorify the image. I would be most curious to find out the thoughts of our Founding Fathers on this most English tradition.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.

And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
