Not regarding this issue specifically, if anything what happened in MN goes AGAINST the notion that people have guns for armed rebellion.
We're talking about gun ownership for the purpose of violently overthrowing the government. That has not been demonstrated in MN.
Even Jan. 6, the shitshow that was, took a lot of planning and lead up to it. It didn't spontaneously come up overnight. That was a childish person's thought process of how to take over a government. The real work of trying to overthrow a government is longer and more methodical requiring so much pressure no the right points to make it collapse. All I'm seeing with these arguments really is they just want to see bloodshed which makes them no better than the generalizations they have of us.
