Guns are surprisingly easy to come by. For now.
What good do you think guns would do?

The gun isn't to fight the military. It's to protect against random acts of political violence.
I would expect more political violence had Harris won. With Trump as the winner, wouldn’t violent hate crimes be the bigger concern?
Under the first Trump presidency, there was a substantial increase in politically motivated hate crime. So the answer to your question is both are true. If your existence isn't a political issue, then you should still get armed to defend the people around you.
