Armed people cannot defend themselves against the logistics of any organised force.

What people with guns can do against fascism is hide & covertly attack guerrilla/terrorist style so that the confrontation doesn’t allow oppressing force to use it’s force/time/reach/etc.

I do not mean that as a bad or un-heroic thing, just as the last resort of protest.

But this situation would not turn out any better had there been more guns involved. Only in case of 0 guns the situation might have been better.
