tbh the French take it pretty well, considering how much they suck

Y'all know we got the second amendment from what was British law at the time, right?

The only difference is that after General Gage send troops to Lexington and Concord to confiscate arms from free civilians, we decided to put the RKBA into our Constitution rather than let Parliament dissolve human rights on a whim in a single session -- like what goes on in your system of government.

“When the ships from America approached our shores with their priceless arms special trains were waiting in all the ports to receive their cargoes,” Churchill recalled. “The Home Guard in every county, in every town, in every village, sat up all through the night to receive them…. By the end of July we were an armed nation…. a lot of our men and some women had weapons in their hands.”

After the war, you threw the donated arms from America into the English channel.
