I always thought it was weird that Americans are so focused on keeping pistols and rifles on hand, all while in Ukraine they have been using drones to firebomb people for three years now. The 2nd Amendment means nothing when the government has access to loitering drones that can launch a sidewinder missile at your house without a second thought. Or FPV drones that can essentially maneuver their way right through an open window.

They did not care about collateral damage in Afghanistan or Palestine, and they will not here.
