Facts.

TBH, the stockpiles of weapons that some Americans have in their basements doesn't seem to make them any more inclined to openly defy the government.

It's the opposite: the portion of the population with fewer weapons is more willing to protest.

I wish they'd more openly defy them, I think the nationalistic brain-rot got to them. Sadly.

I've long suspected that the armament industry encourages them to buy lots of guns because it's an emotional pacifier.

A bunch of trucks and tractors and cardboard signs and silent marches and software developers are what is changing things, not the gun they'll never shoot.

The gun is good for protection but yes there is a group of people who buy them but seem subservient to the state.

Agreed, there are people who do rhetoric only...

Then there are those who do rhetoric and implement alternatives!

Gun is good for protection from criminals, mostly.
