America allows people to buy and own guns as they were as trivial as lolipops. Because of that, mass shootings have always been a common thing in this country and the number of people dead from guns is the highest among all the "developed" countries. You all have always been told that this is the price for having ways to defend yourself against the tyranny of a hypothetical tyrannic government. How do you feel now, american, seeing that this has always been bullshit. That even if you carry guns, the government power is still greater that yours. All these lifes lost to guns, all these mass shootings, all these guns... in name of a lie

The thing is, anybody with an IQ higher than a ham sandwich could see this scenario coming, where the government would respond in this manner to people exercising their 2A rights. Turns out that “tyranny” is a lot more subjective than people will admit. Southern plantation owners, for example, considered laws against slavery imposed on them to be “tyranny,” but not the actual enslavement of human beings. And so on.
