RSS“Then we have the equally stupid gun rights ‘deplorables’ who think they need a assault rifle to protect themselves from the government….as if the military wouldn’t mow them down in a hot second if they staged a revolution.”
Yeah, just like we did in Afghanistan…oh, wait…

“Learn the history of Yugoslavia. It's collapse in the mid nineties along ethnic / religious lines. The fault lines in this country are deeper. The Serbs controlled more weapons.
Thus they won."

What ? No, they didn’t and that’s why Yugoslavia (aka: “Greater Serbia”) no longer exists which is what the Serbs were trying to keep under Milosevic’s communist regime. While they slaughtered innocent civilians outside Serbia in the beginning as they indeed controlled more weapons, they were single-handedly kicked out of Croatia by the revamped Croatian army in only 4 DAYS (“Operation Storm”, August 4-7, 1995). They also ran like cowards to the negotiation table a few weeks later when they quickly lost their grip on Bosnia as the Croatian tanks moved in, and NATO's bombs finally exposed the Serbian military myths after years of shelling and sniping unarmed civilians like in Sarajevo.
The only truth in your comparison is that the Serbs just like BRA and Detroit, were the least qualified to be in charge of Yugoslavia (in spite of being the biggest ethnicity, Serbia‘s economy was always second to Slovenia and Croatia). If local Croats and Bosnians had had the same amount of weapons in the beginning none of those wars would have taken place. The conflict would have ended in a matter of days with Serbian minorities having the options to stay or leave just like they did in independent Slovenia, Macedonia and Montenegro.
That’s what this current attack on the 2nd Amendment in the US is all about, and we’ll only have a chance to survive as long as we are prepared indeed.
