Not sure what you mean by "fantasy", since it's the case that, right now, widespread gun ownership would have completely prevented the catastrophe that is current Venezuela, and probably wouldn't have allowed Hong Kong to escalate to this point. It's always crazy that the government would turn against its citizens, until it isn't, and it's happening.

You are seriously positing that HK with guns would somehow have avoided its current fate? That is surely fantasy.

  How so? Would the Chinese government be able to just wantonly and unilaterally degrade HK citizen rights as they've done? They know there is no consequence for their actions, because HK citizens have no power. The threat of force only comes from one side. As of now, HK's only hope is to appeal to international actors that do have power.
