As long as people are pointing their guns at each other instead of billionaires the government has no reason to care.

Remember this. The job of the government isn’t to keep YOU safe. It’s to keep the people in order. They are there to prevent civil disorder. And most importantly they are there to insulate the rich from the poor.

Working as designed.
