I've never been called delusional before, but maybe it is a fantasy... I guess we'll see. I believe they would be more afraid of angering an armed citizenry than an unarmed one. Have a nice day.
The armed citizenry is on the side of the tyrannical government, it always has

Not what happened with disarmament campaigns around the world, which translated into a decrease in violence. Maybe it would be different in the US, the tyrannical government can kill millions in west Asia and no revolt, but the red line might be not being able to shoot at things & people anymore 🤷🏼♀️
