When was the last time the military used the guns against its population?
Wounded Knee (the second one not the original one) was 1973.
Kent State in '70. The Bonus Army (homeless WWI vets) in the 30s. Blair Mountain (coal miners on strike) and the Tulsa Race Massacre in '21.
Only a half dozen times in the last 100 years or so.
Every day, when the militarized police kill innocent people extrajudicially.
54 years, I think?
