If so, then why are so many other nations able to have broad freedoms and restrictive gun laws.  I mentioned Australia in my last post, but it's only one example of many.  How about Canada?

Australia has had restrictive gun laws for only a fraction of a generational cycle.  Recheck them after the crisis war, and things will have changed.

OK, then tell me about the UK.  I'm sure they have less freedom, since that seems to be you premise for needing guns in this modern age.

Based on what great observation, or are you just parroting the same lines from the same sources?

FWIW, slander laws are stricter in Canada, but political speech is just as free as the US ... perhaps moreso in some ways.
