This is why the 2nd amendment is absolutely crucial in ensuring that American citizens have the right to self-defense once these types of policies become more popular in America. Anyone still in Venezuela who has not planned to leave is utterly screwed.
I can't wait to see people shooting their rifles and handguns at fighter jets, tanks, drones, and bombs. Really good self defense plan there. And it's going to seem so patriotic when you're shooting at your own government & neighbors.
This has always been a really stupid argument. You realize that the army would split up because people from the army would join the resistance and lend a hand, right? And you realize that guerrilla warfare is highly effective even against superior weapons, right? Basic history shows us this.
