Last I checked, "the people" didn't forget how to make guillotines.
When was the last time you saw a guillotine anywhere other than France circa the revolution?
The honest truth is that the Texas people arm themselves to the teeth in the name of controlling "undesirable forces", then they let the media branch of the government fool them into believing that the undesirable forces they need to be armed against are drag queens and mothers looking to get abortions.
It's a class war fueled by the same people who don't want the guillotines turned on them, and it's effective. Hoping that the people rise up against it with the state of politics right now (at least in Texas) is a pipe dream.
