I think it’s arrogant to think a few privately owned guns can actually compare to the massive armory of the US government.

Also, it’s funny that when people actually fight back against government abuse (George Floyd protests) the gun owning demographic seems to find it wrong to be violent despite claiming guns are meant to be used against the government.

It's been shown time and time again that you do not need to, nor do you go toe to toe with the "entire armory of the US government."

It's possible to want to ability to defend yourself while also thinking violence for the sake of violence isn't right. The issue most people had with the protests were that so many innocent people got caught in the cross hairs.
