But is is one way. If government was to turn tyrannical, an armed society would have a chance to defend itself.

but the government has drones

Boots on the ground. Try to control a subcontinent of 325M people with drones and planes, when every corner could have an armed citizen. Ask the vietcong, or the afghani, how much they could do with small firearms.

"Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty."

edit: grammar
