Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government.

No, literally no goal posts have ever been moved.

The point was and always has been, that widespread availability of guns does not effectively resist tyranny in the modern era, but does kill numerous people needlessly.

All you have shown, is a couple random example of guns being used to take ineffective pot shots at governments that ultimately crush them. Literally not a single example of people successfully using personal firearms to resist government oppression, let alone at a scale that would justify the thousands and thousands of needless deaths.

You’re just a gun lover blindly trying to justify a reason for owning them when one doesn’t exist.
