Using guns is the last resort. Fortunately, there are many tactics and strategies that are usually more effective before people have to resort to violence. When votes aren't counted, there is, e.g., tax strike, general labor strike, protests, and of course simply not following or enforcing the unjust laws the tyrants make.
It also makes for a great deterrent, the way nations use nukes.

Yes guns should be a last resort, for sure. But its good to have that option as a last resort.
