Can't they just buy some? There's been loads of arguments on HN about how the right to own guns is seen as important, just for cases like this.

They are the ones arguing against the use of guns for cases like this. They are in the worse situation, either they lose or their ideology does.

		Ideology is the direction you want to go, not necessarily the way you can go. Its the same thing with immigration: My ideology is to help everyone and not think that every immigrant is bad. Doesn't mean that i have an issue punishing someone who comes and starts doing crime (after trying to help them nonetheless). The ideology of right wing people is the other way: They assume all immmigrants are shit, hate them all, fear them but they still know 'the good immigrants' don't mind marring immigrants because these are the good execption immigrants. The second attitude is the one which can spiral downhill inform of dehuminaztion and genocide.

		They don't have an ideology. They just parrot talking points aimed at stripping their rights away. Even the 1A is on the block because of "misinformation, hate speech, etc."
