Support for Gun Control in US at its Lowest Level in More than 50 Years

[Husar]

What about your freedom to smoke weed? When was the last time you praised and campaigned for that? I know some do, but there is no National Weed Association yet.
We don't have that freedom here either mind you, but what makes the freedom to buy guns so much more precious when most people never really need them anyway (just like weed)?

And there's the argument we had before. What about the freedom to buy a working tank or F-22? The freedom to check everything your government does? There are quite a few things governments reserve for themselves almost exclusively and whether guns are one of them or not doesn't seem like the biggest freedom issue to me. As Tellos said, your 16 year olds aren't even free to buy beer while ours are.

And please don't say guns keep the government in check, your hear about as many complaints about congress than almost any comparable european institution.

The notable difference seems to be that despite guns, more Americans are really worried about someone coming into their home and harming them or their family.

Here we prefer to be free of such worries.
