I'll stand corrected...
...my experience is limited. I don't attend events where armed militias are needed - they sound "unhealthy".

What's unhealthy was what happened in Charlottesville.
Where the cops did $#* all.

The CP Lounge is not the proper forum for this. In fact, CP no longer has any forum for this.

If "opposition to white supremacist murderers" is a political issue I want the nearest shuttle off this planet.

It seems everything is political these days. Even decency.
It makes me a little sick. It's not your fault.
I'm just over it.

Even ignoring the crass timing, I fail to see the connection between Christmas and assault rifles ... maybe it's an "'Murican Thang".

Nah, we would have rebelled over the food at some point.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

What? Oh, the portions weren't big enough?
...and it wasn't battered, extra crispy, fried to death (with extra bland yellow cheese substitute)?

You say that like it's a bad thing.
And barbecue too. I'm more partial to Carolina than the stuff further west.

You all can't really speak about food quality.
You all stole most of the world's spices and can't be bothered to use them.
My favorite British food is Indian food.

Maybe that's what GB is doing wrong. We kill the food before throwing it into a fryer. Y'all are heartless.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution allows almost complete Freedom of Speech - including the right to make a public fool of oneself.
(I'm not going to discuss the Second Amendment - it's too close to both politics and religion)
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Freedom speech allows us to identify the idiots.

Every single one of them is properly handling the weapon. None are pointed at anyone and no one has their finger near the trigger. (The congressman might but I suspect his finger is wrapped around the trigger guard.)

I'm sure they are as JSOP pointed out earlier - as a brit I struggle to understand why one family have enough firepower to win a small war

That's precisely why the 2nd Amendment exists, and why we have the right to keep/bear "weapons of war".
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security - U.S. Constitution, 1776
It's happened in the past, and it will most certainly happen again, and not just in the U.S.
