Guys, we need to ban AR-15s. Guys, ignore the fiber optic drones for less than a thousand bucks. Guys, we really need to get this AR thing done and dusted.
What a fucking stupid comment
Good luck when the maga drone fleets roll out!
Edit: fly out, fly out - that one is my bad.
Good luck shooting down a small and relatively fast moving object 50 m in the air with an AR-15. And why would MAGA need drones to kill people in their own country?
How did you even make this about some completely unrelated stupid US-American shit under a video about Ukraine?
Due to seemingly unsolvable political polarization in the US, it's a popular belief that we're headed for a second civil war.

But you're right, that doesn't belong in this /c
I would never suggest that you should shoot at a drone, it's fucking stupid.
Why wouldn't they? My MAGA cousin just bought a drone, fiber optic wire and everything.
What else is this comment supposed to imply? Waving the gun at the drone and kindly asking it to turn around?
Because they could just shoot people instead of using drones? Drones are used in Ukraine because they provide a good overview of the front lines, are able to also defeat tanks, among other things, and can attack targets inside enemy territory from a distance. Of course I have no idea what a civil war in the US would actually look like, but MAGA is not fighting for territory (or not yet, I guess), let alone with tanks and in trenches.
My point is the news has you convinced that disarming yourselves is the answer, while I have (admittedly anecdotal) evidence that MAGA is indeed arming itself with drones.
I don't really care what anyone thinks, you can assume whatever makes you feel safe.
Do they also have explosives to put on the drones? Drones alone won't help. And no, "the news" hasn't convinced me of anything, my brain did. If most people don't have guns, there isn't any need for more guns. Amazing how that works, right? This concept works perfectly in most of the world. So disarming is the only logical answer, if everyone is forced to give up their guns (or at least the more dangerous ones, like AR-15s).
I have no fucking idea what he's doing with the drone, he's an asshole and he's not allowed at my house. I just know he isn't stupid, and he's very well armed.
Yes, logically speaking — if we could just delete guns and all agree to stop killing each other; the world would be a better place.
MAGA is not going to disarm. Police forces are not going to disarm. The military is not going to disarm. People are not going to stop killing each other, they will simply find other ways (of which there are thousands).
You will be disarming yourself against a force that actively hates anyone that doesn't immediately conform to the way they enforce. Do I want to fight other human beings? No. I genuinely believe that the time where I no longer have a choice is rapidly approaching. You can believe whatever makes you feel safe.
