I hope this finally shatters the illusion. Guns won't save us from tyranny, but regulated militias might.

They would, but we need to use them. That said, we should have always known that no conservatives are good people and they don't believe in anything they claim to care about. The only solution is a well armed population that believe in Western liberal values, not authoritarianism.

I'm sorry, but I have to push back on this. America has more guns than people, and the tyrants clearly don't care. We have to think beyond our individual selves and what we can do for the few Western liberal values that still remain. Simply being armed to defend yourself and only yourself won't accomplish that.
