There has been a lot of debate about gun control in the forums. Regardless of your personal feelings on the matter, I have a question for those who live in countries that do not have the “right to bear arms.”
Things in the United States are certainly not perfect, and few people are happy with our politicians in general, or the direction the country is headed in many ways. My confidence in our government is a little shaken. However, I am completely confident that if the U.S. Government gets to the point of true disregard for the welfare of the people, we will take back control. We have the means to do this. Through the “right to bear arms,” our government does have a reason to fear the people. I believe this is what makes us citizens.
For those of you who live in countries where citizens can not own arms, my question is simply – What would you do? If the British government started rounding up all of the Muslims in the country, what would you do? Do you have any way to defend yourselves if you government started to slide out of control? Your government is armed, but you are not. Does your government have any reason to fear you? Are you citizens, or merely subjects?
It is likely that this is nothing we will have to worry about in our lifetimes, but I think it is still a relevant question.
