What you call "schemes" are laws passed by the peoples' elected representatives.
Like The Fugitive Slave Act?
You act as if those representatives accurately represent. And as if they are incapable of getting it wrong, but continue.
If you want to engage in armed rebellion, rather than working within the framework of our constitutional republic to change minds, leaders and laws, then may you die swiftly and with minimal suffering. Just so long as no peace officer's family needs to be told their daddy is dead at the hands of a selfish nutjob.
There you go, again, equating standing up for a Right with armed insurrection and evil. It is just that sort of ridiculous hyperbole that you, the media, and such notable statespersons as Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein use to shape the argument in the public eye, with the wholehearted help of the Leftist Media.
If you honestly believe such people have the best solutions for the problems of this Republic, then vote for them, but seriously, don't urinate on our heads and tell us it is raining.
As for all who would surrender their Rights, for the illusion of protection, those who would surrender liberty for the illusion of safety deserve neither. As has been pointed out to you, the utility of firearms in a rural contest is much like the utility of a chainsaw. Folks who live in cities understand neither, likely don't own one, haven't ever held or used one. We get that.
You act as if anyone, especially those who have engaged in combat, would wish to again have these shores bloodied by internal conflict, or even conflict between Americans on a grand scale. WHile Conservatives have asserted their Rights to remain armed (as much as a deterrent to the totalitarian dreams of the Left as anything), we understand the horror it would perpetrate upon our progeny, our kin, and our communities to have such conflict. We aren't insisting on anything of the kind, in fact, we are just insisting on maintaining the means to respond in a meaningful fashion should such be thrust upon us. THe millions who were carried like cattle in the 40 & 8s of Europe are mute testimony to what happens to a people who are deprived of the means to resist.
It is, instead, the Leftists, the Communists, the totalitarian wannabes who have been calling for violent revolution since the 1960s, and are growing more shrill with the divisive babble from the Left, from Congresspersons and Senators, from professional agitators, from the street level Alinskyites who, well 'community organized', are daily promoting violence and revolution. Who is calling for blood? Not Conservatives, not gunowners who want to retain their property and Rights, but those who want to take those items away and quash that Right, with all others soon to follow. It would be foolish to disarm in the face of that nonsense, it would only encourage such more.
Note that Rights are not about what the majority wants (that's that whole "Democracy" fallacy),
Rights simply are.
Our government was founded on the principle of protecting those Rights, from the masses, including those who would use the power of government to deny them. Departure from that is not in keeping with the Constitution, and not in keeping with the intent of those who crafted this Republic.
As for wishing me a painful death, I leave you with the words of Sam Adams...
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.†
