The NRA used to argue against CCW and AR ownership, shit, even the inventer Euegen Stoner never understood why a random civilian would want one...
It changed in the 70s when essentially a coup backed by lobbyists from gun manufacters happened. That's when it went from a hunting/conservation club to the rapid "pry it from my cold dead hands" modern NRA.
In 2026 there's a very good reason for CCW and AR ownership, but if we fix society so we're not under threat of fascists, that changes.
If CCW and AR ownership can defeat fascism, then nothing changes once it's defeated.
You'd still need CCW and AR to defeat it the next time, because there will be a next time.
