I agree, but I believe Gaza is the culmination of this reality due to the cross-section of advanced surveillance, drone tech, and AI-based warfare. It is the first time this combination is fully applied to a non-conventional military/guerilla group in a highly concentrated, urban setting.

Also, given that many 2A proponents still believe in it as a legitimate “correction” mechanism, Gaza should be the final wake up call.
