    Ye…the boys and girls who shouted for years that they were the vanguard of democracy ánd who for years complained that people of Iran, China and Russia should ‘rise up’ and ‘get rid’ of their tyrannic leaders are now more willing than any other people to throw their hands up and surrender in the face of the dumbest, most incompetent autocrat that has ever risen to power.

    In fact, the US is one of the few countries in the world where average citizens can legally own an automatic rifle or organize a militia and literally no one has tried to wrestle power from him including the supposed opposition party. Think about it; dozens of kids and teachers get blown away by crazed teen shooters each year. Thousands die from armed robberies and murders committed with firearms.

    And the reason they never banned that crap is because of an almost sacred right to defend yourself from tyrannic rule. So, if you’re not going to do that, why even have firearms in the first place?!
