“”Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed by sister democracies such as Canada and Britain.”

Domestic tranquility such as Britain?? Does he mean where a homeowner gets imprisoned for fighting back against thugs who invade a home and attack the resident?

Thank you, good doctor, but if Britain is your idea of “civilized”, I think I will pass.

Mr. Krauthammer - because of his condition - may not travel so much, I don’t know. But if he knew Britain like I do, he would know that knife crimes are absolutely out of control there. When you don’t have a gun, you simply substitute a knive, a machete, a rock, you name it.

I’m continually shocked by Americans who want to throw our 2nd Amendment under the bus.
