> Since citizens have a right to some power, our government cannot get too tyrannical because there would be consequences.

This is such a hilarious idea. Any amount of citizens that unite together armed to inhibit the government's "tyrannical behavior" (read: against white people, the government has already been tyrannical for many decades to an absurd degree without retribution) will find out three facts:

  1. We spend almost $2T a year on defense so much so that a small fraction of that defense given to a minor nation was able to completely and totally repel a world power.
  2. We spend almost $220B a year on police, a portion of which is spent on cheap outdated parts manufactured with the above money.
  3. Every adult american buying an AR-15 comes out to $400B.
Each of these forces is designed with the sole goal of protecting capital and private property.
