It's more that, as it turns out, guns can't protect you against Fox News and Facebook feeds.

If Biden were president in this exact situation, there would be some guns out.

Sorry to say this but if the population is so easily brainwashed then maybe they can't be trusted with gun ownership.

Why are they so brainwashed though? Because the government doesn't help with education? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ (Serious question.)

Public education in the US is a system of propaganda-loaded indoctrination designed to stifle critical thinking.

I hate the excuse "people are stupid."

That's both a truism and misleading. We've always had monkey brains. The issue is that humans are psycologically vulnerable to technologically enhanced attention-grabbing feeds; regulating that is on business and government, and it has little to do with the education system or gun laws.
