If it wasn't for guns, would we be speaking British? (Details )

I’m a gun enthusiast, but I also think there are too many weapons available to the US public that have ,realistically, military applications.

The main reason I hear from other gun enthusiasts ,who think we(the public) should have access to these weapons is ; the government should be afraid of its people. In other words, if the citizens have equal arms as the government, the citizens can defeat a tyrannical government if need be.

In reality, it doesn’t matter how many, or what type of guns you have. If the government wants you, they will overpower you ,and take/kill you. No amount of weapons or ammo can protect you from the US.

Armed rebels revolted,and ultimately gained independence from England, in the US.

Do you think that having a well armed public prevents, or reduces a government’sability to be overreaching, and tyrannical?
