I realize that many countries restrict private gun ownership far more than the US; we are unique in our gun culture.

But communist countries, and otherwise authoritarian countries, are especially restrictive - when your government depends on repressing the citizens, preventing them from having guns is a fundamental principle.

SoI thought it odd that you'd welcome living in such a society.
