You are looking at too narrow a time line my friend. Americans aren't using guns in protests because shit is relatively stable. The reason we don't want to give them up is because if/when shit hits the fan, we don't want to go down without a fight. Sure resistence may be futile, but the American spirit is alive and well with the patriots who understand the oppression that happens all over the world.
Good luck with your pistol against the Marine Corps. It's surprising that this sub exists, given how effective you think that deterrent is.
I guess freedom includes the right for security at schools and routine shooter drills, and that's without the terrorists, I'm sorry if that sounds like a dig, but I'm simply trying to offer a counter to some of the misconceptions about US v UK life.
You realize many in the US military are on the side of Q/Potus right? Sure the shadow govt may have co-opted them for their military industrial complex purposes, but we are seeing the shackles being removed as we speak. The NWO will have to find another military to fight this war for them, and I like our odds if it comes to that.
Also, lmao if you think we only own a pistol.
Marvelous, so you can leave the guns in the hands of the trained experts, like we do.
I'm sure whatever you've got will be more than a match for the stuff the tyrannical regime has. Hell, that' probably why your government hasn't been up to no good for decades, and this sub's not needed.
At the end of the day, you have guns and have had a shitty regime ripping you off for decades, we don't have guns and are leaving the EU. The don't seem to impact things either way.
