Yea. All coercion is wrong. But, my point is, the line between rebellion and tyranny is not so clear.

If one defends 2A from the point of “government itself needs to be checked” (which is a valid point) … who determines when freedom has been won and what happens “next”?

We may live in “extraordinary” times, but some things never change. Power corrupts. People with guns fight for power. The street thugs are just a simpler case of how this “always” plays out.

Exactly how will “more guns” bring an end to tyranny?

Well, for one, from our own history:

If any part of the government mobilizes to confiscate citizens property en mass. I think that's a pretty good time to start an active rebellion.

But, aside from that, I do think that some of the slimier things that happen in parts of the world with less civilian firearm ownership haven't yet happened in the US because so many people do own guns.
