>but pretending you need them because any day now you're totally going to use them to save Murica is a fucking joke.

The guns are already saving America.

Their very existence is a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of our rulers letting them know that if they go too far we just might kill them all. The threat of armed revolution against the state changes the balance of power between the state and its citizens. If the citizens are disarmed they are powerless and they may be violated without concern for consequences. If the citizens are armed then you must worry about what sort of damage 150 million gun owners could do to the system.
