You might want to read my post again, because that's literally what I said. Where are they? They have no answer, and that shows the argument (hedge against tyranny) is bullshit. My point is that some reasons are deeply held and others are not. This one is the deeply held one, and it's the one people need to keep hammering home. If the 2nd amendment is a hedge against tyranny, why don't we see the beginnings of unrest? Conservatives may give different reasons they think things are going to shit, but they also think things are going to shit. And.they have no answer about why nothing's being done about it.
