And do you trust the GOP, or even the Conservative Party known as the Democrats, holding the reins of all the people with guns? I, for one, do not.

We’re coming up on a holiday celebrating one of the times Jews were forced to take up arms and defend themselves from violent antisemitism, and it’s hardly the only such occurrence in Jewish history. I would argue that even through a “history is written by the victors” lens, there are pretty good reasons to stay armed and vigilant, no matter which party currently has a majority. Neither party has my safety as their priority, and they’ll both happily sacrifice my entire family and millions of others to “keep the peace”. If you’d like more historical examples, let me know. I spent quite some time studying various genocides during my undergrad time at University.
