The idea is we don't want to ever have to use them, but having them guarantees that any paramilitary leader or fascist movement knows that forceful removal of dissidents will mean a door-to-door meat grinder, and that is a VERY strong deterrent. Read history.
I mean, unless you think you won't be considered a dissident... not like they're not ALREADY making databases of people critical of the administration.
I hope to keep my guns locked away forever. I WANT them to be useless.
In the meantime, figure out what your plan is if this whole shitshow continues to go south, or if you think they'll say you're "one of the good ones" and let you go for some reason.
