This is Honduras. But we have guns. A lot of them.
I was trying to explain to family in Australia about guns in the US. The LAST thing they thought was that their purpose is to protect us from the government.
I think we already know the answer to that question and we had better realize that it's gonna take more pure pressure than townhalls, teaparties and marches on Washington D.C. to enforce fealty to the highest law of our land and it's limitations on rogue governings as we are about to whitness!!!
(no loose cannons, and/or lone wolves, however)
We already are whitnessing more stress on and threats to our freedoms than the founders were forced to deal with from the King of England and we better find the courage to make it stop. Otherwise, it never will!!!
My, although admittedly limited, understanding is that Honduras encourages private gun ownership.
None of the European or ex-European countries like AUS get it. They are just to used to being pushed around by GOV.
