Seize the media and then purge academia Most dictators are pretty good at multi-tasking.

So the original assault weapons ban that was originally proposed by the Reagan adminstration and went into affect in 1994 was to prevent resistance against tyranny? I must have missed that 10 year dictatorship that only could have been prevented by brave Americans and their AR-15 rifles.
What is with you gun nuts and your fantasies about "fighting tyranny" aka shooting police and soldiers? How many jets, helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles, drones, and/or missiles do you imagine yourself shooting with your rifle when it's pretend time?
No one is fantasizing about fighting tyranny. We hope it never gets to that. As far as your comments about fighting against jets and tanks check your history. The Viet Cong didn't have a problem fighting against superior forces. History is rife with independence movements fighting against established militaries and winning. You also assume that American forces would all be on board with the tyrants. Viet Cong were fighting foreign invaders and took massive losses until the invader lost interest, but there is something there. Then again, Ukraine is fighting a superior force currently and their ability to counter Russia has been predicated on advanced and heavy weaponry from the West, not rifles.
Who do you assume the "tyrants" are if they don't have the state power of police and military?

Haven't you ever heard of guerilla warfare? Based on the past not all units of the military and police will go along with the tyrants but some will. What about our own revolution? It was farmers against the most powerful army in the world at that time.

It's odd that people think that tyranny can only come from the side they oppose.
For instance, a coordinated attempt to steal an election took place and many of the folks fantasizing about arming themselves for the next revolution were OK with it.
So it's highly likely that when people start shooting other Americans in the name of "fighting tyranny" they'll actually be the ones fighting for it.

Oathkeepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, etc...any of the RW militia style dorks who want their cosplay to become reality.

Almost everyone who thinks they're going to confront the government has this in common: they won't. They'll probably pee themselves instead.
But anyone who fears the government but supports Trump? That's just a headful of bad wiring, that is!

Aren't most of them already armed? Why would they have to fantasize about what is already reality? Sounds more like your fantasies. Sounds like the people you listed scare you. LOL

LOL So tell me vosa..... on Earth 2 where you live. Is inflation under control and the air/water clean? But yeah, people might be scared/worried. Not about direct contact but how they will bend the norms to their will. And the cops and courts don't move fast enough to reduce that stress, so there is that.

LOL Yeah they're armed, but until they can start shooting other people, that rifle and camo fanny pack is nothing more than a prop. They don't scare me. They're the ones who actually seem scared if I'm being honest.

So not everyone is as dumb as you. (Now cry to the cowboyz that you've been insulted.) How is that being dumb? I knew it couldn't have been Maryland. SMH A lot of people in Texas open carry, its mostly rural and there are good reasons to be armed in some places. Do you think anyone who open carries is a member of a right wing extremist group?

I only count what you have actually seen with your two eyes in person. There was a time when that statement would have been viewed as lunacy. Now I'm not so sure. With the decline of objective journalism, the rise of photoshop and voice cloning and the misuse of AI it is becoming increasingly difficult to know what is real and what is fake. We are rapidly approaching the point where the only thing we can believe is what we have actually seen with our two eyes in person.
