The motion, put forward by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, would have reauthorized the Assault Weapons Ban, which first passed in 1994 and expired 10 years later. The US has recorded the highest number of mass shootings for the second year in a row.
So the US has never had any issue with guerilla warfare when the adversaries had mostly small arms? Cool it with the American exceptionalism.
Not to mention using an army on the people they swore to protect is so vastly different than something like vietnam. Imagine if during the Vietnam conflict the VC lived in the same country as the president, the generals, and their families. These people have no idea how revolutions actually work to claim it couldn’t happen here.
