    They have satellites and drones that can map everything relatively quickly, recon isn’t the hard part. Topographical data doesn’t win hearts and minds.

    Like I said, I’m not against gun control though. I just feel like blanket “no guns!” statements aren’t really productive to the conversation. It’d be like trying to discuss abortion with a Christian and demanding “abortions on demand up to 10 months no questions asked!”

    It’s just such a dismissive, “my way or the highway” take that it makes reasonable discussion impossible and guarantees gridlock.

      Satellites don’t let you map tunnels and caves, that’s the difference with fighting in the USA vs in Afghanistan or Iraq or Gaza, in the USA towns have maps of their underground and of all the buildings and heck, authorities have files on the people most likely to be armed and dangerous.
