Except for the fact that we’ve been collecting guns for 250 years to prevent this exact scenario. I support the right to own a gun more than I support actual gun ownership, if that makes any sense. A government SHOULD fear its people but I worry that ship sailed a hundred years ago.
Currently they don’t fear citizens with guns; they’re fishing for them, trying to bait them into violence so they can use that to sell the rest of the public on martial law and mass arrests.
Which is, per se, not a bad idea.

It’s a horrible idea both from an ethical standpoint and from the practical standpoint
