"defend itself from tyranny". Burner, the tyranny is in the room and the 2A bootlickers all signed up to enforce it. Please show me the country higher on the global freedom index with more guns per-capita than the US. The "immense benefit" to the guns is "the poors keep killing each other and distracting themselves from building a guillotine".

This is jingoistic hogwash and not an actually moral point.

That’s not at all my experience, and I’m in “2A” communities every day. A few months ago you’d have found a few people in support of it; now you’ll find a couple of cops say something inflammatory in the hopes of getting the other members banned, but otherwise they stay holed up in their little private law-enforcement-only subforums that everyone else isn’t allowed to access.
