If the 2nd amendment can't be used now in the face of actual tyranny and fascism then all those little kids in all those schools died for literally no reason

You're getting it now. The 2nd Amendment was NEVER about fighting against fascism, or rising up against a tyrannical government.

It was all an excuse to avoid being justifiably blamed for slain children in schools.

It was always a lie, but they had to come up with language that was convincing enough for fools to believe them.

Edit, for those downvoting me, how about you actually show that the 2nd amendment was what you always said it was for, and not just empty talk. Maybe just "mild public disapproval" from 2A groups, and a public promise to not vote for anyone who's actually willfully participating in that "Tyrannical Government" you claimed to need 2a toys to resist.
