How likely is a tyranny to break out?
In the event of tyranny, how likely is it that it's a tyranny that can be prevented with guns?
Until that kind of tyranny breaks out, what are the side-effects of having guns?
How should the present side-effects of guns be weighted against the future effects of a specific kind of tyranny?
For example:
The US is by a myriad of regulations and laws locked in a Two-Party-system that perpetually enshrines that either of those two political parties rules, while those two political parties are at the same time beholden to Big Money due to circumstances created by regulations and laws, making democratic change next to impossible even if the majority of the population were to demand it.
How do you fight that kind of tyranny with a gun, short of "Kill everybody, let God sort 'em out?"
