On top of that, conservatives love guns so much that they think any regulation makes them think you're trying to take their toy away. They try to turn it into a more serious conversation about fighting tyranny.

Dude you are not going to fight against the tyrannical government okay? You are not the Viet-Cong you are not the Taliban. You will never be able to fight successfully against the American government if it wanted to shove its boot up your ass, as it does all day every day. And all you do is just shut up and you keep consuming the garbage that you consume on a daily basis and refuse to recognize that you're being f*ed over all the g*ddamn time. So it's already happening. You talk about a tyrannical government but we're already here.

A tyrannical government isn't when they tell you you can't get a five-dollar jalapeno popper at Applebee's It's the surveillance state that we have, it's the police state that we have, and it's the severe lack of freedom of travel that you engage in as long as it's done through a capitalist framework. Most Americans a cucked when they're like "I deserve to be in a situation where I can't pay for health care" You know what I mean there are people who legitimately believe that they think that that's not tyranny they think it's not medical tyranny when you can't get health care because it's just too expensive you're paying a butt-load out of pocket. You're terrified to go to the doctor because you don't want to get medically bankrupt. That's medical tyranny. But to you, the real health care tyranny is when the government's like "here's a free vaccine".
None of these conservative pricks are gonna get together and actively dismantle the federal government. They're not gonna be able to do that, and the republican party is already doing that. The democratic party is also looking over and allowing that to happen anyways. And they're doing it at the best of corporations.

You are powerless and if you think you're a brave hero a brave mujahideen who's gonna be able to fight back against the American government and like actually organize, guess what dude you can't even organize in a workplace. Good luck! You don't even want to organize in your damn workplace. You're like "yeah we're gonna fight back against the government that's why I need a gun". Bro, you can't even fight back against your boss who’s taking advantage of you. You don't even have control over your own life as an adult dude. 80% of your life is spent in a corporate office or in some kind of workplace and you have no control over that. You can't even organize to take control over that in some meaningful capacity because you think that's communism. Then you turn around and you think you're gonna fight back against tyranny when the government is already screwing you on behalf of corpos.
I believe when it gets bad enough most of the military and most law enforcement will side with the masses. And I know quite a few liberals that are more into firearms than I am. “…conservatives love guns so much…”

You’ve been watching way too much MSM. And ditch the cable.

Actually, most people preaching gun bans haven’t read the 2nd. It’s very clear.

In fact, the framers TOLD us what the intent is:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..."

In 1787 the US did not have a standing army, nor any plans to have one. In case of an invasion by a foreign power, we needed to rely on rapid call up of a citizen militia.
Against all enemies foreign and domestic. We just fought a war against a tyrannical government or did you forget?

It is NOT about general safety among the populace.

The purpose is to protect people from government that could make itself too powerful and overwhelm the citizens.

We are seeing the government today trying to influence the citizens to remove the very protection that protects us from them.

Over two centuries ago the founders knew enough to provide us this protection from the government. It will always be needed because people are the same and the enticement of the power from being in government will always be there.
When the Brits wanted our guns we fought them and gained our independence.

Quite a bit has changed over the last 250 year, I don't think we need to worry about a British or French invasion, did you know we have a standing army with a $1B budget.

Most people don't stay awake nights worrying about the need to take up arms against the government, that's a full time job for the far right domestic terrorists.
