I don’t understand much about US laws and constitution but I’m still wondering why people think that 2nd amendment protects citizens from tyrannical government?
Let’s think for a bit:
- if a tyrannical government takes control, and assuming they control the army.. your guns at home are just like a water gun compared to the army’s fire power
- if a tyrannical government comes, constitution becomes useless and they can ban normal people to buy ammo and new guns
So unless most homes in the US has war level weapons, tanks, jets, and and enough ammunition.. then you will still have problems defending from a tyrannical government.
I hope that’ll never happen obviously but I’m still curious to understand why constitution is even relevant in the event a tyrant takes control
