It's not what it seems. Citizens should have a right to arm themselves against a tyrannical government. The US constitution is a masterpiece that protect the people against their ruler. Say what you like about the US, I know it is not perfect, but the citizens here enjoy freedom that neither Vietnam nor china can match. We can say what we want about our government, try that in either VN or china and you will be put in prison. Why is that? Because their elites are afraid of losing power and control.
china does not have a government, what they do have is a business and the people are the employee. They are not allowed to own land but are allowed to lease their land for a maximum of 70 years. That is not a government by the people and/or for the people. That is an oligarchy that oppress the people. Vietnam as she stand is no better. You have incompetent, uneducated people running a country. As a result, the people will have to suffer poverty for longer than they should.
Sure, you can wars, but what is the point of victory when the victors envy the loser and want what they have? Victors should progress and flourish, and not come home to a country where the people are stuck in a survival mentality that do not have the luxury of being civilized.
Which brings us to mass shooting in the US. What you see here is not the work of psycho going on killing spree, what you see are false flag carried out by the ruling elites of the US via FBI, CIA, dyncorp, etc...This isn't a conspiracy, it's a well known fact. For example, sandy hook, where a mass shooting was stage to take away guns from citizens. Eversince 9/11, the rights of American citizens have slowly eroded to what we have today, a police surveillance state. American are losing more rights as we speak.
American have had the right to bare arms since the beginning. The wild west was when you saw people getting in gun fights on a daily basis but there wasnt a problem then. Why now? Guns aren't the problem, a psychopathic government is. That is where the most heinous crimes and corruptions come from; government, ruling elites, oligarchs. You think American citizens want to invade and bomb other countries? They couldnt care less, it is our government that is doing all the killings, foreign and domestic.
