Government tyranny? Militias are (in the parlance of our times) here for it.
They'll fight against Border Patrol, and even plot to kill them sometimes, but only when they think they aren't doing enough.

Have been for a while. Probably for ever. True of probably any country.
Oh they only care about tyranny that affects them. It's not tyranny if it's hurting the people they want hurt.
We were assured that the guns were there for protection and the many thousand child-sized coffins were just the cost of freedom; A trade-off because tyrants were lurking right outside the door.
Now a tyrant has taken over with barely any resistance and it seems that all those children died for nothing.
Shameful.
Maybe we just didn't let enough children die... ๐ค
