    is english your first language. that is NOT what @Bowerbird said at all.

    idiots in the usa are allowed to own assault rifles, that does not mean that every american is an idiotic "conservative" incel on a mission to kill anyone.

    No one in the UK is allowed to own a so-called assault weapon.

    Does that mean everyone in the UK is an idiot?...lol

    If the government isn't smarter than us, we need to do a better job of electing leaders.

    We should be electing people who are better than us.

    They'll be needing to ban crossbows now then. Better go after those week BB guns that are still allowed to have because those can put your eye out. And we need to take away anything sharp and pointy.

    No, we want someone smart enough to know that the generals know more than them.

    We just expect our elected leaders to be smarter than the general public. This shouldn't even be a controversial take.

    I don't care how smart they are, none of them know what's best for me, better than I do.

    Just because they're smart doesn't guarantee that they have my best interests in mind.

    Just like Browerbird, the elected officials in his country believe he's too stupid to own a gun.

    That isn't a perfect scenario, because if a president believes generals all know more than he does, he won't be able to spot an incompetent general and take the necessary actions to prevent that general from damaging our forces.

    First off, they aren't our "leaders". They're our representatives. They answer to us. We don't answer to them. We aren't required to do, or not do something just because they told us to. They only have to be smart enough to be able to understand the Constitution and the powers and restrictions it places upon them.

    Define smart. Is "smart" when they do something you agree with?
