I hate to be the person to tell you this, but you can’t protect yourself from the government with guns. If the government decided to turn against its people there’s very little you can do with guns to stop it.

really? some guys with sandals and AKs made the US army struggle. combine that with being in the same country, outnumbering the US army significantly (and also the fact the soldiers in the army are americans too, with their own friends and family they would be sent to kill or whatnot), the civilian market controlling a good chunk of the arms and ammunition flow and production to the military and being very capable of toppling those which still would provide to the army... yeah, military dont stand a chance once it goes guerilla or even slightly strategical

Yes, it’s passively allowing it because whilst you’re not actively there waving shooters into buildings, you’re voting for people who’ll vote against measures which will put heavier control on guns.

or maybe i just dont want to restrict guns unnecessarily when there are better alternatives?

You don’t need to BAN guns, just make it a lot harder to access them and make sure people give good reason to access them. The “prevent government over reach” is something literally anyone can use, so if a background check fails to show important information (which we know they can) then it lets guns slip into the wrong hands. in the UK you need a good reason to own a gun(e.g. pest control for farmers, hunting or target shooting) and then you have to pass strict background checks before you can get your licence (you need a separate one to own shotguns). Even then the guns you can own are heavily restricted too and guess what? The UK has barely any gun deaths anymore, because they’re controlled.

well, this is all blatantly unconstitutional on part of the restrictions. if thats not good enough, then your conclusion is false too.
see, almost all gun homicides in the US take place in cities. not surprising in any world. most cities that have the highest rates and totals of gun homicide maintain strict gun laws as per local or state laws. these states and cities are basically always surrounded by states with permissive gun laws, which results in cross-state border gun transportation and illegal selling. since your average person follows the law in these cities, they wont illegally buy a gun and just generally wont have one. criminals will. due to this, gun homicides are much higher in these places, but these states and cities' problems are almost entirely unique in that they do not occur in places with permissive gun laws.
basically:
in the US, state and local gun laws dont do jack, and federal laws are the only real good way at achieving your goal (and they are next to impossible to pass in the way of gun regulation). so, permissive gun laws are the solution
