I see it as arming themselves against their fellow Americans, no matter what bias they place on it. That's got to be their target if they understand the situation, all things considered.

It sure isn't about arming themselves to protect them from the government, (no matter what side of the partisan divide they imagine it to be). Those little assault rifles and whatever weapons caches they have would be like mosquitoes in comparison to what the military has now. A few drones and goodbye brave militant dimwits. I would assume they would know that their weapons are no match for modern military interventions, (not even close) but I could be wrong considering the level of intelligence displayed.

The best they could do is hold out in guerilla camps. I guess the guns are for taking things away from others at gunpoint or killing them outright for food, supplies, etc. if things go Mad Max. Might equal right. Those will be the gangs of marauding criminals terrorizing, stealing and raping their way across the land, given the chance.
