I can understand why an individual would want to move in another country. But it's also ironic given the fact that every American I talk to, even the most progressives, are usually telling me that we, people in other countries, need guns to protect ourselves in case our government turns tyrannical.

Sure, tell me how having armed people in your society is making your government fear you. I'm sure all those precious guns to protect your citizens against the abuse of your own government are working well.

Any day now we should see those gun owning liberty defenders do something against their fascist government. Or, they will try to move somewhere else and bring their guns, because liberty!!1! You know, just in case the government turns to fascism and tyranny.

The "second amendment solutions" thing is just something for the ammosexuals to stroke off to. They never meant to fight off a tyrannical government, unless they meant shooting the Blah guy for bringing them health care.

They are really about signaling to the marginalized that they are heavily armed, and don't get any ideas about "too much" freedom....

Also, even if they thought they were going to fight off FEMA death camps or Jade Helm whatever bullshit scenarios the far right was getting the vapors over when hanging on Alex Jones' every word - our military has shit like drones. The little toy guns these geniuses are collecting are not going to do shit against energy weapons, MOABs, or if it comes to it, tactical nukes.

Imagine, making America so "great" that people are looking for ways to move away.

What makes them think that they are welcome? And a lot of them are murderers and rapists... Bringing the "american virus" as I like to call bird flu. Many people say this to me. They say danekrae, will you protect us from the nasty americans, and I say yes, because I'm so nice. In fact the nicest person you'll ever meet, it's true. And more humble than you could understand. So yeah, americans, you can just grab them by the trucknuts. When you're European, they let you.
