You’re definitely not wrong. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know about warfare. Hopefully I never have to truly find out.
I just mean government has drones and tanks and other super firepower that a normal citizen doesn’t have, but when the 2nd amendment was written, we were on a bit more of even footing.
Because of that, I would rather have more bans and restrictions to prevent American gun violence.
If we were still in more even footing, I would be much more hesitant to place restrictions.
As far as rifles go, American civilians have always had better weapons. Weird, right?
I loathe the title of this, and it's not relevant to the lesson. Also heard this guy is a nutty right-winger. Don't know about that. But the history is on point.

Yes, he is.
Maybe but he/she is not wrong that I don’t know shit about war. I’ll give them that much at least. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
