The arming was (and remains) mainly about keeping the US settler garrison empowered to carry out indigenous eviction, and keeping non-white populations under control. Not protecting from a tyrannical government.
You can see that when those groups did try to arm themselves, such as the Black panthers or the American Indian Movement, laws were passed and repression carried out to disarm them.
Highly recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Loaded, the disarming history of the second amendment for more on this. You can find the audiobook on torrents.
Thanks for the reading recomendation, will look into it. Yeah, times of crisis are really fast destroyers of lies, such as that the ruling classes would allow the ruled to arm against them. If the propaganda meltdown was in turbo mode after israel started the genocide, a civil conflict inside the us will give it a spaceship engine
You wouldn’t be alive to defend yourself in court. But not only that, US cops are extremely protected legally. If you put a hand on them that’s assaulting an officer and you’ll get prison time.
That was a lie. The ones who don’t like tyranny don’t like guns, and the ones who like guns don’t actually mind tyranny, so long as it hurts the right people.
Arent you guys supposed to have weapons in case a tyranical government or something like that?

This could cause a civil war.
Can you legally shoot a cop if they were shooting at you for no reason?

Show him the constitution and he will unshoot you

If those who oppose tyrany wont starting using guns, they can rest well assured repression and death awaits
