Be careful what you wish for. The Right/ Fascists/ White-ethnocetrists/ The Man/Capitalism/Trump/Elon Musk are the perceived threat they are arming against.Peeps, we have increasingly more left-of-center gun owners emerging, and most are as rapidly pro-gun as we are. Class III stuff, the whole works.
They are trying to change things from within through education. Frankly, we can't do this as Conservatives. We'd be rejected.
We need these liberal gun owners as allies in this if we're going to come out on top.
There is currently an uneasy detente as the Left recognizes they would soundly lose in an open conflict- for now. But if that calculation changes, they would have no problem taking away all private arms once they feel the Right is no longer a threat. You may regret encouraging them someday.
Which is better, the entire populace disarmed at the mercy of criminals, foreign invaders, and a totalitarian regime or a divided society with all factions armed to the teeth and pointing their muzzles at each other? That didn't turn out great for the Yugoslavs (literally United Slavs).
Hamas loves their guns- doesn't mean its a good thing for anyone, themselves included. Not working out so well for them right now.
An armed citizenry only benefits a society if those arms are kept by those who defend the pillars and tenents of that society and wield them in just cause.
Otherwise, they are just thugs with guns.
