I am from Ukraine. And I am sure that the situation would have evolved completely differently in 2014 if people had weapons. Not so much in '22, yes. But '14 led to '22.
Answering your question about the US: yes, I believe that any non-imbecile criminal can acquire any non-special weapon in the USA. Maybe not an AT-launcher, but a pistol or a rifle without any problems.
Сподіваюся, у тебе все добре. :)
Не думаю, що це допомогло б і в 2014 році. Якщо наші гіпотетичні ополченці відтіснили російських бойовиків на Донбасі, основна російська армія втрутилася б у ситуацію (як у Криму).
Навіть у 2014 році нам потрібна була сильна армія. ТРО було б недостатньо.
As I said earlier, modern APCs, tanks, ballistic missiles (imagine if we would could have striked Russia proper and bombed their Black sea fleet with modern missiles in 2014). Hell, if we had such capabilities (especially striking russia) the russians might not have invaded at all.
So isn't the discussion on pragmatic approaches (in context of the US) moot? I did not get the impression there was any interest in implementing true mandatory background checks (no loop holes and severe, life changing penalties for rule breakers).
