While the Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, particularly in the context of resisting a tyrannical government, the very government we might seek to oppose has the power to enact laws that prevent such actions.
In a system where the government controls the legal framework, it can create laws that label any attempt to resist as illegal or treasonous, using the force of law to protect its authority and suppress dissent.

These legal protections give the government the upper hand, making it difficult for citizens to exercise their right to bear arms in defense of their freedoms.
This creates a paradox: while citizens retain the right to resist tyranny, the government can use its power to ensure that such resistance is legally punishable, thus undermining the ability of the people to take action without facing severe consequences.
The balance of power, in the United States, lies heavily in favor of those who control the state’s laws and institutions. Not We the People
