Probably no point in arguing, as I'm sure we probably can't really persuade eachother to differ that much.
I'm all for stricter gun control. Stricter laws on sales where background checks aren't made. Nofly lists(but there needs to also be a way to appeal being on the Nofly list, even if it's a small chance to be put on there by mistake). Even willing to discuss other laws, like more indepth gun licence laws.
But I'm also for the second ammendment, even for the reasons some say of tyranny.
Could the average Joe take on the government? No, not really. But put enough people together, along with, say, national guard bases in certain states and chances improve. Because more people with guns employing guerilla warfare has shown to work.
BUT(and this is a size one zillion but) I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Unless the USA ramps up nsa 1984 spying to 11, and we see people being "taken away" for merely making jokes. Then no, I don't see it happening ANYTIME soon.
We should be talking more about middleground approaches instead of gun bans(some Democrats will say, "we aren't saying that!" but I've heard and read, through many left leaning articles, the opinion to just ban guns...just as I've read\heard some democratic progressives argue for limiting free speech beyond crying fire in a movie theatre)
Anyways, long ramble. I'm not a Republican. I'm not a conspiracy nut.
But I do think we need to have compromising discussions in politics...without the emotionally Hugh of, "Any law is taking away my freedom!" and "ban em all! We need to protect ourselves from ourselves....will someone think of the children."
I'm probably jumping the gun(ha) on my rant...as I do agree, this milita take over is silly(wouldn't call it terrorism per se, as I wouldn't call blm terrorism. While some articles\pundits are comparing for some asinine reason while saying people called blm terrorists, which I don't remember being the case, but could be true I guess)
Anyways, tl;Dr I wish the politicians and people in general would focus on compromised approaches on stricter gun laws.
Hate all this division.
Sorry for the rank and just to add I respect your opinion.
