........well, it depends on your viewpoint and what you “believe”. I’m guessing you and I differ. But, I believe that most European citizens are socialists and in that group there is a large subset of communists. Generally speaking they have the political power in any contest against “The Right”. Meaning, leftist governments control the police and army and so on.
Since guns in the hands of citizens are outlawed, or extremely limited in most European countries, it’s hard for me to figure out how “The Right” is going to be very effective fighting “The Left”. What’s your view?
Having traveled over much of the world I can tell you that THIS wonderful country of ours is the ONLY one that has this SECOND AMENDMENT which allows us to BEAR ARMS. It's not just Europe...not at all. Europe is socialist but it is liberal compared to the other nations and continents of the world. Guns are outlawed EVERYWHERE on this fair planet.
That being said, I uphold the second amendment 100% but am not going to engage in armed combat because of politics. I view the world beyond "Left" and "Right." I also have a very faith-oriented view of the world and try to live my life as Jesus would want me to.
To me that does not include pigeon-holing people into the political "Left" and "Right" which, by definition, preclude ANY room for faith, logic or ANY other viewpoint.
However, if YOUR world IS "Left" versus "Right" and YOU want to live your life seeing the two sides in continual, infernal and irremediable combat, that is YOUR right.
I defend your right to that opinion and way of life.
