The guns aren't for the government, tyrannical or not.....they're for you.
No, guns are for profiting off of fear and death. Firearm CEOs love the violence, because if you have not noticed, there is always an uptick in panic buying after the sane rightfully shout "DO SOMETHING". The obsessive slavish worshipers of an object do not have the common sense our allies do when events like this happen in their countries. When there is too much firearm violence, they put their foot down on access, and their societies do not see that as a gun grab, but a call to the common welfare and safety of all.
If firearm makers truly cared about where their products end up, they would not obstruct every safety measure that does get passed. Some people on the left are touting this new "bipartisanship" as a long time needed breakthrough. I don't trust the GOP at all on this fake compromise. They will do the same fucking thing they did after passing the Brady Bill and pass future laws neutering it making it basically useless. They would do the same fucking thing if an assault weapons ban was passed. They undid that bill back in the 90s too.
The only goal of the companies and the GOP is to prey on fear and death and profit off of fear and death. Saying guns are for "you" is a useful lie they sell everyone to keep and maintain or expand their market.
