The court's 6-3 conservative majority has expanded gun rights but has also shown a reluctance in recent months to take up new cases on the scope of the right to bear arms.

    Here’s a few examples:

      None of those are examples of people using firearms to stand against tyranny. Not even at a small scale, let alone a meaningful one.

      (Note that racist organisations are not governments. They’re awful, but they are not fascism and do not constitute tyranny.)

        I misunderstood what you were after, since I consider neo-nazi’s to be neo-fascists. If you wanted examples of people resisting fascist or tyrannical governments only, there’s not many examples of that happening in the US specifically since those movements would be almost immediately and harshly quashed. I don’t know if you’d consider the Battle of Athens to count since it was only against a corrupt local town government. And the Battle of Blair Mountain, I assume, doesn’t really count either.

        For larger scale conflicts, we’d have to go abroad and often farther back in history, which may disqualify it from what you’re looking for.

        Examples:

        • Rojava using weapons to protect against tyrannical and oppressive neighbor states

        • The Spanish Civil War, which was leftists (even George Orwell joined in!) vs. the fascist army of Francisco Franco (plus Documentary with more detail)

        • Nestor Makhno’s Black Army during the Russian Revolution (plus short historical video)

        • Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

        • Polish Resistance during WW2
