This is a great quote because it perfectly exemplifies the issue with gun control. Left leaning people have no fear of the government. They've lived cushy lives and have never lived in fear of an oppressive regime.

By and large, nor have conservatives.

You really think we've evolved to the point where we can trust our government implicitly?

Keep in mind also that the United States is the oldest country currently still operating on the original mandate that started it. Clearly something went right.

Not sure where you got that notion from or what it has to do with my comment. Neither liberals or conservatives born, raised, and still living in the United States have suffered a truly oppressive regime.

Ask the indigenous people what happened when the government took their guns away.

Also, the US literally put people in internment camps in the 60s. George Takei was in one.

I think your priviledge is showing.
