Howard, where exactly did I explain what I think constitutes freedom? I reread my post and I certainly can't find it!
I also never said my views were against the UK solely. I said it's hard to explain what freedom means to people who've never had it. And I hold firm on that.
I also never said we are free from stupid laws but the beauty here vs anyone else is that we can and often do get stupid laws repealed. The people have a voice. A loud one should they choose.
I have personally been involved in getting laws enacted where I live and trust me, this is no easy task because I live in one of the most liberal states in our union. Trust me, I regret every minute I live here and the first chance I get where I can sell my house and leave I'm outta here. I will do my homework on the next place I live.
Regardless, your gun control cannot work here. Criminals will get guns no matter how illegal they are. It's indesputible. But the right to every American to have a gun should never be taken away from us.
We are many small countries united as one. Each with it's own constitution and one governing all. The people have the say. We have the right to challenge our leaders. We have the right to impeach the ones we think are not working for us. That is why we are made "Of the People, For the People and By the People".
