I don't meddle in other countries affairs and they can stay out of mine, that's exactly why we need to be armed to the hilt (nosy countries and their stupid ideas). This country is strong because we the people are armed.

No, we are strong because of the Constitution, there is more than one right in the Bill of Rights. Same stupid logic theists make about the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Our strength is in our idea of common law and civility and problem solving through a system of checks and balances and no monopoly of power for any parties involved. If all that mattered was being armed, we could be a a theocracy just as well.
This is what gun worshipers look like to sane people.

I believe you would be of the camp that would call anyone who doesn't want to take all guns from the hands of private citizens, but doesn't mind arming cops, whose record for gun safety and restraint every time they see somebody who "looks" like trouble is atrocious and disgusting - honestly, who's the fucking idiot anyway?
Mr. Hanky loves you!
