I would think that an informed populace would be more likely to prevent tyranny than an armed one. And the notion that massive infusions of unrestricted guns into society is somehow protective to our form of government seems to be be highly speculative at best. The rise in gun violence and related deaths isn't speculative. It's tangible.

Yes, I doubt the US military would ever turn its guns on its citizens too. And I REALLY doubt that keeping it that way can be accomplished by getting into an arms race with them......
