Gun manufacturers are having a great year.

Right, the only people who should be armed are the christian nationalists who are already armed to the teeth and itching to use them. As we all know, nothing bad ever happens when people without guns confront people with guns. It worked out great for the native Americans!
The native tribes had guns

The Cherokee were disarmed just prior to the Tail of Tears. They had to surrender their weapons as invaders broke into their homes, destroyed their crops, and split families apart. They were then reliant on the federal government’s soldiers, who rounded them up into camps until they were marched to what was to be only their land forever, Indian Territory. Now Oklahoma. Where we still fight the state and governor Stitt for our treaty rights.

There are still Cherokee in North Carolina because one man, Tsali (pronounced like Charlie), fought back when his wife was being stabbed by a soldiers bayonet and killed him. He then led survivors to the mountains for a hard couple of years of starvation until the government relented. They worked with Yonaguska, a chief, to reach a diplomatic solution to allow the refugees to stay in their homelands. If they executed Tsali and all of his children do no one else would rise up.

They killed him and his son for trying to defend his home and family. They killed many others in the camps and the trail itself. Many children were stolen and enslaved. But the Cherokee wanted a reasonable, diplomatic solution that didn’t involve violence when the US government absolutely wanted all of those things.

I’ll keep my guns.

You do thst, and let me know when you actually do something useful with them
I think I will be dead by that point. Not sure if you read my previous comment or not.
Probably should have organized into a militia then
Your comments so far have been dumb and useless and naive. I’ll pass.
