America gets a lot of heat for its gun laws...

But keep in mind these 2 interesting details...

The USA has one of the longest running constitutional sovereignties the world has ever seen.

Perhaps the check of an armed citizenry has kept the government from running amuck as they tend to do every 100 years or so...

No invading armed force has ever reached our shores since the war of 1812.

Even if the us government infrastructure were to completely fail, any conquering army would have a major issue with completing a campaign with boots on the ground.

You might think these possible scenarios are far and away, but that’s just the point. An armed citizenry keeps these scenarios far and away.

the problem americans have is that they dont understand the difference between "noone ever gets any guns anywhere at all" and "some people with criminal records and mental issues shouldnt have access to guns"

@Madgirl I don’t think we have a problem with that. We already have those laws in place.

Yet that doesn’t solve mental illness
