Not to put too fine a point on it but this is exactly what the entire rest of the world would say when 2A cultists would talk about how “guns keep da gubmint in check”.
Maybe, instead of wasting money, blood and political capital on making sure every psycho could pack heat it may have been wiser to spend it on firming up the laws and protecting against exactly what is happening now. For example, maybe a President responsible for a coup should not have been on the ballot.
Nonsense. They are cowards that doesn’t trade their lifes for a paycheck. In the us you are legally allowed to have your firearm at a protest. Start using them.
In the US you get two options and both are completely uninterested in “firming up the laws” and reining in the power of the executive. Trump can do basically whatever he wants, because after 9/11, Democrats fully supported measures like the Patriot Act that vastly expanded executive power, and when Obama came in after Bush he did nothing to hold him accountable for war crimes and torture, while continuing to use the same tools for largely the same purposes. No president wants to prosecute a former president for illegal activity because that would open the door for being prosecuted for their own illegal activities, which they all perform.
It doesn’t really matter if the average American cares about guns or about something else. We’ve never been given an opportunity to vote on the power of the executive just like we’ve never been given an opportunity to vote on Venezuela or Palestine or Iraq or Afghanistan or Yemen. The powers that be decide these things, all the voters do is choose which face they want doing it, which aesthetics and justifications will be used for decisions that have already been made.

I think you’ll find that it’s a whole lot easier to find people willing to kill for a paycheck, rather than dying for one.
Meaning of course, bring guns to protests to show that you have them. Those chicken shits wont start shooting if they are at risk of dying themselves.
This sounds like a great way to get two angry sides of a protest to start shooting at each other
Much better that the government has the guns?
The government has monopolized violence. If you turn a firearm on the fascists you’ll only get yourself shot.
Organize, outnumber, overwhelm. You can blind and disable ICE vehicles with water balloons full of used motor oil and sand.

The purpose of having the guns is to shoot them. I think people lost sight of this.
