In basically, in every other country rights, really privileges, come from the government and the polititcians. America is unique in that rights do not come from the government, the government's right to exist comes from the people and its powers are limited. Americans are not subject to the whims of their government, it is the government that is subjected to the whims of the people.

If you want to live in a country were privileges come from the government America is not the place to be.

Yes, in this country...it's the CITIZENS who tell the politicians what to do. That's why all the politicians are sailing into retirement on "golden parachutes"...while the majority of the citizens are left with hardly any retirement savings at all, after a lifetime of work.

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.

If the American citizens are "endowed with such a right"...then, what are they waiting for? Haven't they been screwed by the politicians ENOUGH? When will those "rightful shootings" BEGIN?

Actually, "the government's right to exist comes" down from God in heaven. Human government is a divinely-ordained institution.

Just sayin'

You have your opinion...others will differ.

Whether or not God exists, if more people had the "fear of God" in them, half this shit wouldn't be happening.

Some people who don't believe in God put the "fear of god" into their children as part of their upbringing.

The result is the same either way.
