As an European, I cannot agree on that. In my eyes e.g. US health care makes your country most definitely a tyranny.
That makes absolutely no sense. What is tyrannical about it? Please compare to health care in European countries.

But for all of you that want to voluntarily disarm yourselves, go for it. After all, when seconds count the police are only minutes away.
I'm sorry to be frank Rahul, but that is idiotic. What are you afraid of, that someone can rob you by gunpoint? Well, tighter gun control makes it harder for people to use guns on you. See the problem here? Instead of giving every kook the right to carry arms, why not learn something useful like Krav Maga, if/when you have to defend yourself?
Not everyone is physically capable of doing so. It is not realistic to expect those most in need of defense to be able to use that.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
