And the politicians are doing great at is as well! /j
The problems in the US are cultural ones (that and socio-economic), not a gun one. The people in power are cowards who are trying to protect their power, not the people. And the people with guns are largely the same people who are at least complicit (and many who are outright supporters) with the government. Liberals and leftists have distanced and villainized guns so much that they are neither armed, nor ready for violent resistance. The conservatives and fascists are armed and are ready, but they wont cause they got what they wanted. The exception being the groypers that keep trying to assassinate their own teammates. For what reason idk, but my guess is they are trying to pull a false flag to start a civil war.
In other words, you have a case where "the people in power are cowards who are trying to protect their power"—the exact case for which this should work, but it doesn't work because... well, because people are idiots and don't do what you think they should do, certainly not because the whole point is utter nonsense.
