Bruh, you ain't gonna win shit in a fight against dudes using drones and armored vehicles and etc etc. I get the thought though and it isn't all wrong, violence can be an effective means of changing the political landscape.
Having some common sense gun regulation isn't a bad thing, and I say that as a person who owns firearms. It shouldn't be easier to get a tool literally designed for killing than getting a driver's license to operate a motor vehicle which can be turned into a tool for killing (accidentally or otherwise).
Most guns in school shootings were obtained legally, obviously there's some problems there especially when we're the only country on the planet dealing with this.
The state has and maintains a monopoly on legal violence. That's never changing even if everyone in this country is strapped.
I'm all for responsible gun ownership but there needs to be more laws and regulations around it. School shootings are tragic and avoidable if other countries around the world are anything to go by,
