My bad, I went for the pentagon, since that was what the linked article was about. I always thought this was just a thing gun lovers said to themselves to justify keeping their murder weapons. I didn’t know things were actually so bad that, contrary to most of the rest of the civilised world, you really do need them to protect yourself from the government.
I sincerely hope for you can find a way out of that mess.

I doubt it will ever come to that. Standards of living, life expectancy, consumer protections, the list goes on - all of these are way way worse in the US vs Europe.
But hey, at least you have guns that could have stopped this. With no negative side effects whatsoever.
I do agree with you on thing though - things are getting worse. But at least we will have you to lead the way, give us a hint what to prepare for, and to remind us that things could always be worse.
