Ladybird, with all due respect, I can understand your position on this topic. Germany has been a subjected country from before Christ was born. As a slave based country your citizens have had no rights. Regardless of who ran your country the people of Germany were serfs and owned by the land owners (Barons) and kings (Kaisers). It wasn't until Herr Hitler was killed and your country occupied by US forces that any individual freedoms came to be. Even East Germany was under the rule of Tyrants until just recently.
237 years ago, the people of the United States of America told the King of England (King George III) to go to hell and that we were a FREE people with rights to live as we see fit. It did take us another 87 years to get rid of slavery so all men were born equal.
While I understand that this is a new concept for those in Europe, it has been our right to "Keep and Bear Arms" that has given us these 237 years of freedom.
Hopefully you will never have to go through a government again that puts a gun to your head and tells you, you have to walk into a gas chamber.
Instead of telling us we should not have our guns, you should be thanking us for the Americans that gave their lives (killed) to give you the freedoms you currently enjoy.
