I don't know why you believe we aren't so great a country, and I really don't care to know the reason. Perhaps you are from another country originally. The United States is not just a great country, it is an exceptional country. The second amendment, in my opinion, is one of those things that has been a factor in differentiating our country from run of the mill dictatorships, kingdoms, and failed social experiments.
Perhaps you've forgotten that every household in Switzerland has a weapon provided by the government. Your bobbies are becoming more armed every day, even including automatic weapons, to deal with the mess they now have on their hands.
If you are really ashamed of this country I don't know what to say. We are a free country, though, and you have choices.
