There is a reason they are trying to ban guns, especially guns that are useful in combat. Because an armed population is the only threat that can potentially remove the entire political and financial system, namely the federal reserve which is the root of corruption. Nothing will change unless people grow balls and become armed and organised and start forcibly removing the government, killing if necessary and imprisoning those who were or are involved in deception and false flag operation which constitutes treason against the US public.
They have far too many mass psychological operations in place to assure a true revolution can never take place for the peaceful revolution you speak of...If peace is more important than anything, then except that parasites rule the planet and will never go away just because the majority of people simply want them to....Yell out to a violent home invader "go away " then hold an AR15 at his head...See which one works better!
