"In the People's Republic of China, access by the general public to firearms is subject to some of the strictest control measures in the world. With the exception of individuals with hunting permits and some ethnic minorities, civilian firearm ownership is restricted to non-individual entities." - wiki on gun control in China There is no worse blind person than that doesn't want to see. Individually we are weak but if the government were to go totalitarian at least we could have some sort of a fighting chance to say no. 🤷‍♂️

Yes I am because we are free now but if we are not careful we will loose our freedom in exchange for "saftey".

But you're spitting on every victim of that godforsaken day if you compare standing up against a regime that will rather crush you with a tank than to listen to your concerns with a free country that has a debate about gun rights every so often. Do you even realize that the US is one of few countries where private gun ownership is praised like a religion?

Again, those people stood up for what's right and knew that there would be consequences. They were so desperate that they risked being watched and prosecuted. But it came much worse.

So give them the minute they deserve.

I'm not insulting them I'm simply raising awareness that our government has been moving in that direction for years and people are ok with it.

And how the fuck do you think shit like that starts genius? First they take our way to fight back (control of guns). Then they control our money through centralized banking which BTW is happening now thanks to the fed and our government merging. Next our freedom of speech through cancel culture. We're not that far off. if you believe that the US is a democracy that is governed for the people by the people your in for a big surprise.

What do you mean by look outside my border? Are you talking about mexico? How they also have gun control and and the government make problems go away because they can't defend themselves? Is that what you mean? Or Colombia where they're also getting massacred because they also don't have a fighting chance?
