i get what you're saying pro-gun people but honestly you americans are so fucking twisted on this gun shit, i get that theoretically they could be used to resist oppression and overthrow the capitalists etc but that aint happening, has never happened and in the mean time its just fucking godawful
Also guns used to be held at armories managed by the party or union, not individuals. I know that at least in the austrian civil war there were weapon stashes in compounds and hotels and stuff.
Same in Vietnam apparently
