Our Covid restrictions were far less tyrannical. I work for a family who lives in London. London was on par with the US west coast and New England and MI...... that’s only a part of the US that happens to have far lower levels of gun ownership than the open south and entire middle of the country.

You all also limit how far into pregnancy elective abortions are allowed while people hear scream they should be allowed to abort any baby for any reason into the moment of birth (some even want that extended). All of Western Europe, where humanity is acknowledged before birth, did a much better job of not destroying your children. Toddlers are still masked in the areas of the US seeking to ensure unlimited abortion “rights.”

My point is the cultural issues tend to play into how government responds. Where there were more guns there were less restrictions. Where small humans are acknowledged as humans kids weren’t intentionally destroyed.
