I don’t understand much about US laws and constitution but I’m still wondering why people think that 2nd amendment protects citizens from tyrannical government?

Let’s think for a bit:

- if a tyrannical government takes control, and assuming they control the army.. your guns at home are just like a water gun compared to the army’s fire power

- if a tyrannical government comes, constitution becomes useless and they can ban normal people to buy ammo and new guns

So unless most homes in the US has war level weapons, tanks, jets, and and enough ammunition.. then you will still have problems defending from a tyrannical government.

I hope that’ll never happen obviously but I’m still curious to understand why constitution is even relevant in the event a tyrant takes control

If the US gov gets aggressively tyrannical and attacks it owns citizens, it will up to the inner fortitude & desire for freedom of the citizens to fight back. Don’t underestimate the gorilla and grassroots capability to subvert a military incursion on citizens. The American revolution and Afghanistan are perfect examples of when big traditional militia lost against much lesser armed and staffed opponents.

Have you ever been under a tyrannical government that takes control of the army?

We did

And militias were just wiped out

What was the ratio of firearms per citizen? Was the country as vast and spread out the US?

This is about tens of millions of people with arms, not a depot of militia hot spots to hit with air fire or missiles.
