They don’t get shot because guns are for mass-shootings.

Haven’t read a single story where a gun was used against the tyrannical government / cops.

Mostly because you can’t “self-defence” agaist the police in the US. You will always be shot to death on the spot.

I don’t think there’s “legal” and “illegal” anymore in the US. It’s “allowed” or “not allowed” by the king+oligarch.
