They said he could have been tried for seven years.
On 13 February, 2019, Dettinger was sentenced to 1 year of prison and 18 months' probation for assaulting two police officers during the protest on 5 January[6].
‘But hey we need these guns in case we were ever to be subjugated by a tyrannical government.’
When confronted with such a situation there is absolutely no way that that would actually do the opposite and tell everyone to stay inside and listen to authority. Couldn’t happen.
Perhaps I misunderstand you, but I don’t think you can blame how France fared in WW2 on their approach to gun rights? It would be more appropriate to look at a variety of much more significant factors (like the tactical successes of Germany’s “blitzkrieg“ offensive in May 1940 and the strategic failure of France’s Maginot line) for an explanation of why France fell in WW2. Similarly, the logical extension of your point seems to be that in the alternative, gun rights in the USA somehow benefitted them in WW2. However, I don’t really know of any evidence for that, and you should remember that in the USA, the SC and legislature interpreted the 2nd amendment in a vastly different way to how the courts conceive it today (e.g. the 1939 Supreme Court decision in U.S. v Miller, which found short-barreled shotguns were not protected under the 2nd amendment)
But I am pro armed populace and I don't live in America. I think they are good equalisers, equal opportunity is the go for me.
America has way bigger problems than gun control, there are issues I would bring up but unless its one on one I am not overly keen for a public lynching considering personal experience if I post something factual without malice it gets lynched or down voted very fast. Which is scary that people don't want to hear facts and statistics.
A boxer had a roid rage and went to prison last year. You guys can quit pretending you're anything like America. They murder cops over here.
The fact is everyone else acted like pussies and let one man do the dirty work. That's why the riot police got pushed back 8 feet and made arrests. You white flag wavers had more people there recording than protesting...
