Re: Who Do We Need to Protect Democracy From?
Do you think we in the UK are more at risk from despotic governments than you because we aren’t all armed?
But you are not unarmed, you can own rifles and shotguns if you wish for hunting purposes. The only slight difference in the US is the ownership and concealment of handguns.
Making the manufacturing of handguns and their sale illegal does not violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Nor does it mean the difference between being able to or not able to stop the US government. Which I believe you'd agree with.
