Freedom is not just guns. Our Government prohibits gambling,
certain drugs, some marriages..............

We have the worlds largest military, we will not be invaded and if our
military turns on us we will be out gunned.

Yup, having lived in & visited other countries I can tell you that the US is a good place to live, but it's definitely not the country with the highest personal freedoms. Some things are actually pretty backward here.

IMO, you win some you lose some. No place is perfect. Some places are better here and worse there and we might be better there and worse here. IOW, it is not perfect. IMO, it is the best place to be ON THE WHOLE. After all, if you disagree, you need to ask yourself why you are here and not somewhere else. I did that when I was young. I was never under the impression that this was the perfect place. I realized that every spot has it's good points and bad points. Add it all up and see where you stand.

Never bet on that. It is not the guns you have that will win. Look at Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq. It is the will to win that is way more important that the whiz bang stuff that can hit a certain postage stamp on the wall.
