This is what Trump wants.
Honest question and genuinely not suggesting anything, but, Isn't this what the second amendment is for?
the 2A lunatics are the ones who want the tyranny
How would this family getting in a shootout with the cops have helped them?
The 2nd amendment was designed for a different time. As you say, guns won't protect anyone from the governments tyranny anymore. War has escalated the instruments it uses over the last 300 years.
Guns are not a solution, and never were.
guns won’t protect anyone from the governments tyranny anymore
Probably not. I'm mostly looking into buying a gun to protect myself from the overwhelming number of braindead/racist/Nazi Americans and all the desperate people Republican leadership will produce who start committing crimes due to their desperation.
Technically, yes. But I strongly recommend never pointing a gun at a law enforcement officer unless there are significantly more of you than there are of them.
Or perhaps if you're 300 yards away with a magnified optic, just for example.

Hopefully, we start seeing civil rights lawsuits for the usual -- 4th and probably 5th Amendment violations. You know, the classics.
Then it makes it's way to the supreme court and they give it their stamp of approval.
Got a real NKVD going on here. A real “people’s police.”
I am relearning Spanish because of this. When I did factory work a long time ago I worked with a buncha guys from El Salvador and Honduras and learned enough to converse. Time to pick it back up! Arrest my 5th gen American ass, fascists!
