How lucky? Your entire country was disarmed by the government.
Look into that a little and you will find people like Stalin, Mao and others did the same thing. Then they wholesale slaughtered millions. Our 2nd Amendment isn’t about hunting, or target shooting. It was placed in our constitution so the people could defend themselves from our government.
It’s backed up in the writings of our founders from the Federalist papers to the sons of Liberty.
You now live in a country that has no recourse but to be subservient to your governments every whim.
You have 23 million people, but only 56k military members. You are ripe for invasion. No way you can protect your own shoreline.
Your population would be sitting ducks for any invading force. Do you think that’s the same here? We have 28 million veterans in this country. 99% of them willing to pull a trigger to protect the country (excluding John Kerry) and that’s not counting the rednecks who have never served
Are you starting to get the point? Your country relies on the kindness of others and the hope that no tyrants rise up. Americans were endowed with the right to shoot their politicians should it come to that and in no way would we ever hope that someone else would protect us from the forces of evil that pervade this world.
We saved the world and in fact your country especially, in World War II by using GUNS and we are equipped to do it again, unlike your country. So you sit over there with your nose in the air thinking you are more civilized, cultured and such. America will stay on watch. We will endure sad episodes such as school shootings because we have ignorant school leaders, left leaning gun grabbers and the like, but we will not let these events change our underlying foundations and belief systems at the whim of a politician or a political party. Unlike you.
