The purpose of the 2nd Amendment in the US, given we are a nation born out of a violent revolution secured through firearms, is to permit citizens to use firearms as a means of final resort to deal with a tyranical government.

Europe has been, for the most part, disarmed. I wonder if the citizens of Europe, given the massive influx of Muslims foiseted upon them by thier "leaders" (despite thier objections), now wish they had firearms?

Tyrants love to disarm nations (see Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Pol Pot, Mao), thus preventing citizens from ultimately rising against them.

Perhaps there will be an increase in the appreciation for the Amercian 2nd amendment in Europe and a realization that an armed nation is the only thing that liberal politicians actually fear.

Some European countries don't even allow pepper spray to be sold in their countries.

There won't be. Most European have an unwavering slavish mentality that will keep them from taking up arms even if the nazi's invaded. Hate to say it but they are weak and pathetic.

European citizens have always looked to the gov't to take care of them. I don't see that changing.

Looks like many citizens there realize being unarmed isn't an advantage.

Heck, we have cities (if not entire states) that ban it in this country. They don't want to risk CRIMINALS being hurt, screw the victims. Makes you wonder what kind of psychopaths we have making laws in these places.
