I'm guessing this:

Never used a gun that didn't fire water or plastic suction cup darts (badly). That said, it's likely for the best; at the height of my mental health issues, there's no telling what I would have done if I did.

That said, I do have an uncle (in Wisconsin) who does have a cabinet full of guns, apparently for hunting season. Of course, he seems to have the good sense to properly store them in a locked cabinet, unloaded, when not in use.

Americans should consider themselves very lucky.

If having much higher probability of being murderer by gun than being murderer by all tools combined in most other countries constitutes luck, then i with you a true abundance of luck.

Which it was before they banned guns as well.

I think the entities you are referring to are generally branches of the government.

Every government has guns and lots of them.

They have guns at their disposal, but they also have accountability. I don't think imposing a martial police state is quite as easy as the more febrile Alex Jones-types may make it seem.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It becomes exponentially more difficult when the populace is well armed not only with the guns, but an ideology that justifies their use against such action - even and especially by their own state.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
