So it's ok for your ancestors to have used weapons to defend their (and your) freedom, but you are questioning why anyone else in another country would want to do the same? I see a logical conflict here. Please try to leave the emotions behind and explain to me the difference.
Because your democratically elected government is there to protect your freedom and those of all the citizens of your country.
You are mistaken, we have a Constitution that is chock full of individual rights and limits on our government. The First and Second Amendment, along with the rest are safeguards to make sure that our "democratically" elected officials and their un elected bureaucrats don't overstep their bounds as is the case in Michigan right now. If you were really a free person you would understand. I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
Probably some moron from GB......
If they were protecting our freedom, there would be no problem. If our problems can't be solved at the ballot box then God forbid they will be by the ammo box. Maybe someday you will understand, but probably not. If you are happy being a subject to your government that is just fine, but don't think for a minute we are.
Most states and areas of the US aren't as congested and dirty as NYC. That is their problem.
Doc, our Constitution work both ways. It also limits individual rights and allows our government to take action when necessary. You only want to see one side when it is in your best interests. But heaven help someone, individual or governing body, that does something you do not like, it's off with their heads. You want it both ways and you know you can't have it both ways. That has to really piss you off.
Our government does protect the "people". You just do not believe that they are protecting you. Not all of our problems can be solved at the ballot box. A lot goes on in between elections that needs to be looked at and addressed. And your ammo box statement is why many overseas see us as the total fools (not you specifically, just the comment in general). Do you really think we are the only democracy on the planet? The only ones with a constitution. We are but only country on this planet, not the only one.
Just more ultra right wing BS. Did you see that the president is most likely going to extend his rules until the summer? Let's see these same morons go protest at the White House.
Here's the deal Greg. You are assuming your ancestors were good people when they fought against a repressive government.
I think you mean "recommendations" not rules. I got the impression Trump is recommending that restrictions continue to be loosened.
Hack, I admire your ability to infer something without actually saying it. Maybe you should run for office.
So do you have anyone in mind as a "wannabe Castro"? Just wondering. 
Potatoe, Potato, he's the freakin' President of the United States. He doesn't recommend anything. He dictates. But he does it by inference. He doesn't really come right out and say anything but everyone knows what he means. The fact that the words come out of his mouth hold meaning for some people who believe whatever he says. When a major American company actually has to issue a press release to tell people not to drink their product, that has to tell you something.
It doesn't work both ways, it is all about personal freedoms and limits on governments.
Maybe it's just my age, I am not ready to be shepherded into train cars and sent to slaughter. Q. We may be just one country but thats all I concern myself with, I don't have any opinion on the governance of other countries, nor do I try and ridicule other people's leaders. I guess I have more civility than that.
Do you hear me calling people from SC morons, no. Why would I ? If you are happy with your rights, so be it. If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home form us in peace. You can look up the rest.
it tells me the press in this country like to twist every little thing he says into something it was not meant to be. Q.
