I don't think Europeans are more tame or obedient or whatever you seem to imply.
Most Americans use weapons against each other, not against some oppressive leaders.
Nor did the majority of today's Europeans ever live in monarchies, let alone real ones where the king or queen had actually anything to say. They only know those things from history books.
Actually, we did use weapons against oppressive leaders -and won our freedom.

Tell me, do you people really think god has anything to do with your constitution and guns, or is that just a welcome auto-suggestion?
Obviously you are ignorant of US Historical documents. Please stop deflecting the discussion.
Why? It does have to do with the topic. It makes a big difference whether or not people really think god wants or allows them to run around with arms.
