Bill T: This just in - Freedom is not exclusive to the US!
Citizens of most European countries live in complete freedom. We have freedom to associate, freedom of movement, freedom of speech. We are free to do almost anything except to walk the streets armed to the teeth.
In Ireland, where I come from, the murder rate is less than a fifth of that in the US, and murder with a firearm is twelve times less likely than in the US. Statistics are broadly similar in all European countries that restrict gun ownership.
You can keep your freedom to bear arms! I like to be free from the worry that every nutcase I pass in the street may be carrying a lethal weapon.
For the record, I’ve never been carjacked, mugged or assaulted, but then I’m only forty-eight…
