It's not about the government, it's about the oligarchs. The US governmemt is a puppet, and the ventriloquist are the oligarchs.

I see what you're saying, but I suspect that the oligarchs that actually run the US do not like an armed populace.

Actually, I'm sure some do... like the lobbyists for gun manufacturers and arms dealers in the NRA and Washington.

Some people make a LOT of money from guns/weapon sales.
