Gaza was not armed at all, no clue where you got that from hamas has weapons but the citizens are banned from owning firearms.
Pol pot and Cambodia...banned and confiscated civilian arms. Not hard to commit genocide when literally no one but your side is armed.
Nazi Germany with the jewish population...disarmed and sent to camps to be slaughtered.
Seeing any...links here?
And republicans would never attempt to take guns away from liberals
So your suggestion is to disarm yourself for them?
When did I say that?
I think the opposite should be true the whole point of the 2nd amendment is to fight tyranny which is what we are seeing by marching soldiers into cities
You're entire argument is that guns are bad and haven't helped anyone fight off the oppressor. It's why you called out gaza and Cambodia...
Please find the quote where I said guns are bad.
Your whole point has been to say that privately owned arms are going to be worthless against a military. That's basically saying guns are pointless and civs have no reason to own them.
