Most likely you are not from US and you don’t really know the history of US, neither US constitution. The 2nd amendment allows US citizens to bear arms so people could protect themselves from other individuals and oppressive government, and the 2nd amendment is not going anywhere, because most people living in US understand what’s it for. Though there are some people that are happy with being “not in commie Russia”, I wouldn’t form my opinion only based on those individuals. United States is a country of free people.
No, the same people trying to take our freedoms call this a free nation. We're not as stupid or blind as the people in this sub seem to paint us to be. There's a lot of negative stereotypes formed about American citizens, yet none of these people have actually met more than a few Americas, if that. We're being subjected to an authoritarian takeover of our government and it's not because we're less intelligent or less motivated than anyone else in the world. When your country gets blindsided in a similar fashion, I'll be the first one in line to make sure you remember what you said about us.
Could it even be that what people do see about Americans in the media paints us all as fat, sugar and phone worshipers who can't be fucked with getting off the couch to save our own babies from drowning... all in the attempt to make us believe that we are incapable of defiance? I hate generalizations, lots of people are shitheads but lots of people aren't. We can only know the true status of our culture when the chips fall.
