the idea that gun control will prevent a popular uprising in the USA is a fantasy.

Historically, most uprisings have been started by people taking guns from military stockpiles, not from their own homes

In addition to this, most gun owners in the United States are not socialists or anarchists, many of them are reactionary or worse.

and to those who say its hypocritical to get gun control while the military still has guns, limiting the total amount of murder machines is still an admirable goal and not worth standing against in the name of whataboutism
