1-It prevents the country from ever being occupied by an outsider
2-It gives experience to the citizens in handling guns; thus enlisting them in the army is easier. A soldier that loves their gun are good soldiers.
Then, the invasion of places like Iraq is easier.
For some Americans, the outside world is a shooting range, and brown people are sitting ducks. Note the "some"; it's the same "some" that shape the tip of the spear in international invasions.

Do they not have racial minorities in Britain? (They do.) Do they not have crazy people in Western Europe? (They do.) Do they not have "criminals" in the EU? (They do.)
You are way too ready to sit on your pompous ass and bless your friendly neighborhood policeman. I wonder what you'll say when some cop blows away someone you know?
Why do you consistently misrepresent my position? Perhaps because you can't lie about it otherwise?
