When gun owners are targeted, they can defend themselves

Yeah, that one time back in the 1940s when pretty much everyone involved was a trained veteran and the Federal government ended up stepping in.

The only time the police step away from armed citizens is if there's a powerful political reason.

Cliven Bundy had politicians on his side, the Black Panthers didn't.

..how?

Do you shoot people that aren't shooting at you and get life on prison/shot to death or get arrested and then they take your guns when they have you cuffed in the back seat. Neighbors don't come out and stop it. It just doesn't happen. Guns don't protect people, they mostly just endamger people (from someone who has owned guns since I turned 18)

Thats a weird way to say "threaten to murder people that disagree with them politically."
