So is your problem with people having guns is they aren't reactionary enough or shooting at police or military yet? If that was happening im pretty sure most people right now would be screaming about terrorists shooting at cops and politicians more than they would be joining up with the insurgency.
Bullets flying is a last resort and you should be thankful for that, not bemoaning it.
"We have the guns to keep the state in check but we won't actually do that because that's bad so instead lets keep shooting each other and show off our cool guns".
I am not advocating for an insurgency. I am pointing out that it won't happen because that's not why gun owners own guns. Despite the claims of noble ideals.
