People have this idea that #Americans of the #USA variety are ALL gun-happy firearms owners. In fact, most do not own guns, and a good chunk of the ones that do ONLY own hunting guns.
We are not a bunch of pseudosoldiers. This is unlikely to be resolved in a blaze of gunfire. And the way we're protesting is doing more than you seem to think. The administration is panicking because they cannot push us down and keep us there.
We've a lot of sheer, stubborn, "I would prefer not to" for them 1/3
