I absolutely believe that giving guns to everybody is a really dumb idea. But if I was living in the present day US, I'd start stocking up on guns and ammo and practice shooting.
If it comes to the point when you need to use a gun to defend yourself, you've already lost. None of the existential threats to a person in US, existing or future, can be solved by shooting at it. You can make a lot of things whole lot worse by introducing armed conflict to it, but nothing can be made better by it. If I was a conspiratorial type, I would say that making the left gun-happy is a psyop by fascists, because there is very little things is as dangerous to a healthy society as the ubiquity of guns, and fasch can't thrive in a healthy society.
Wrong.
Fascism is here. It is not an existential threat. And fascism always has to be responded to with force. Fascists do not respond to politely phrased requests or democratic elections.
Are you unaware of WW2?
This isn't a healthy society.
I think you're misunderstanding what existential means.
