> Do you truly believe that gun ownership in the US could result in a bunch of citizens overthrowing the US government should it become tyrannical? no. it's not about overthrow. it's about meaningful #resistance in the face of braindead authoritarian pepperspray cops without the spine to think for themselves. gun owners aren't at the range practicing political science, and international business, and and learning to be lawyers (though some probably are)... they're protecting their inalienable right to resist authoritarians

It scares me that there are people who think any type of resistance against the government would be hopeless, and would prefer to disarm the public for a false sense of security. One thing I don't get is that those who are anti-gun don't seem to have much faith in the government to begin with, what makes them think that they won't continue to take away rights as soon as the public is disarmed, given that it has happened time and time again all over the world.
