“Politicians aren’t disarming citizens to keep citizens safe. They’re disarming citizens to keep themselves safe when they enact tyranny”

“Politicians aren’t disarming citizens to keep citizens safe. They’re disarming citizens to keep themselves safe when they enact tyranny” (shown on an image) was posted on X/Twitter by Trent Steele, Liberty Dad on February 6, 2024, and posted again by Trent Steele on X/Twitter on April 19, 2024. The saying shows that gun control does not keep citizens safe, and was never intended to do so.
