Do not go into past wars like Iraq, Grenada, Vietnam, or Korea. Those were not fought in America and also had nothing to do with defending my freedom - as well as they were fought outside of America.
I was not born yet during WWII and that was also fought by soldiers.
Police officers use guns but not to defend our freedom. I am all in favor of police having guns to protect us, soldiers having guns to protect us, and private gun ownership if someone wants one for protection or sport - but don't give me any crap about you being the saviour of the community.

Thank you for confirming you are the generation that has not had to step up to the bar and face the adversities of a growing America in the past.
You must be in the age group that has no experience with a personal survival threat (you name it).
I will use a simple (I think!) example to further classify you. There are two (or more ) ways to fight fire.
One is to have the folks who sit in an expensive facility and have expensive equipment at the ready prepared to get to your house to put out a fire of save you from burning to death.
This mode would depend upon prevention to avoid being used ever.
The other is the person who will wait until they see the flames in their home (not next door or down the street or in the area) then decide what to do. If you are lucky and able you can always call those at the fire station to please get there as fast as possible to save your a$$ and your possessions.
So get down of your stupid horse of when was the last time the home land needed to be protected.
Do tyou have home owners and car insurance? Most likely yes. Now using your high horse approah, why?
In closing I will take the time to share a short story. I was in a seminar in Moscow and one of the speakers was a high ranking general. He said the world is safe as long as there is grey hair in command that knows and understands first hand what happens when they push the nuclear button.....death and destruction of millions of innocents. He said when the techies of today, like the drone pilots (no negative intents here) war is reduced to a video game mentallity. The same when it comes time to push the nuclear button. Nothing more than a game of who will be left with no investment in the results.
Wake up!
