“There is that part of the US political psyche that takes rights to a complete extreme,” said Brown, adding that “mass civil unrest” is an ever present possibility due to Americans sharing a “deep independent streak that believes the government is a nice-to-have not a must-have.”He's not all wrong.

Yeah and Aussies who used to be more like us, already turned in their firearms without rebellion. Wouldn’t happen here.

The only thing I disagree with is “government is a nice-to-have not a must-have”. I look at it more like a necessary evil. Other than that, I think he is pretty much spot on.

Yes he is correct on this point, even though he apparently thinks he is insulting us.
There is nothing "extreme" about refusing to have one's liberties confiscated. Independent streak? Hell yes.
Government is indeed a nice-to-have not a must-have - and many times it is NOT nice to have either.
