    It’s the same way with all the preppers and the people stockpiling an arsenal because “government comin’ to get ya”. For the most part, these are the people that will gleefully take up arms against their own countrymen if they are given the go-ahead from a fascist government. They won’t fight against a fascist government.

      There are more civilian owned guns than people in the US, and yeah, a lot of it is from basically people that are building a personal armory.

      Hell, there’s a whole commonly repeated mantra amongst many guntubers that ‘one is none and two is one’ that is basically a thought stopping cliche that also shames people into always purchasing a backup gun roughly equivalent to their primary ‘just in case’.

      When it comes to the people with personal armories… I guarantee that the vast majority (not literally all, but most) of those kinds of people are such assholes, such antisocial totalitarians in their personal lives that they either arent going to have any friends to use all those extra guns, or their ‘friends’ will just take one and leave after armory man is an asshole long enough.

      Functionally, all these goobers have done is made the equivalent of loot boxes or mini dungeons with guns as the prize in an actual SHTF scenario.
